Hon. Lade applauded the Management of the institution for their relentless efforts in embarking on developmental projects for the people of the host communities in addition to excellent academic performance globally.

He said the partnership will not only benefit the host communities but will also pave the way for the institution to fast-track the establishment of the Department of Water Resources and Water Engineering courses.

He further added that due to the current economic challenges, the Ministry is now looking at having a Public Private Partnership approach in managing some of the state waterworks and also increasing the State's IGR through an efficient water management system.
