In his word, “the visit of the Association leadership is indeed great; we have on plan that after the completion of this building, we shall move into other things that would enable us to achieve our objective of transforming the school into an enviable position in the whole of Ofu Local Government Area and of course the entire Igala land of Kogi State. Such other things we have on mind to venture into are:
Renovation of the existing dilapidated buildings.”
He fourther said “In fact, the cost of this alone is very huge and on this note I want to passionately appeal with all well-meaning individuals who would want to assist to please indicate so that we can collaborate in these direction:
“Engagement of qualified Teachers especially in the area of science subjects; I don’t know if Ecss Ofabo has produced any medical Doctor, Pharmacist, Engineer since existence. If any, perhaps not a full breed of our alma mater;
“Scholarship Award /subsidizing SSCE & NECO Examination fees;
“Printing of Exercise books in the name of ECSSOOSA to be given to the students freely.
“Equipping the Library so that intelligent students who have no money to buy textbooks can go and study; and
Subjecting the students to the use of computer/modern technological devices ” he said.
He further added that having a “stake in the management of the school in order to assist in the administration thus sustaining these legacies we shall be putting in place. This is however to mention but a few.”
