He commended the Staff of the Centre who are  from the science department of the state Ministry of Education Science and Technology,  saying the government, investment in the centre was not a waste considering their achievements.

He said the equipment would be distributed to schools on resumption and admonished students who are the end users to make judicious use of the equipment

Also speaking at the skill acquisition Center where school cardigan, socks, muffler etc are being produced, the Commissioner said the government would strive to make the centres an internally generated revenue source for the state.

He charged youths in the state to take advantages of the Centres to learn skills that would not only make them self reliance but employers of labour in future.
