The ceremony held on Friday, 20th February, 2025, was graced by various dignitaries, staff, and proud families, all gathered to honor the achievements of the graduates.
In his speech, the Acting Principal Dr. Rudolph Nyaaba appealed to the government for an increase in the college’s admission quota to accommodate more students.
He emphasized that the current quota is insufficient, preventing many qualified applicants from gaining admission.
“The admission quota for the college should be increased to cater for the large number of applicants we receive annually, of which only a few are admitted. A larger student population would allow the college to generate enough Internally Generated Funds (IGF) to support its developmental needs,” Dr. Nyaaba stated.

Furthermore, he stressed the importance of refurbishing and retooling the college’s laboratories and workshops to enhance the training of science and mathematics teachers.
