“The steady physical and infrastructure development of FCE Pankshin is the fruit of the peaceful academic activities being enjoyed under the leadership of the current Provost, Dr Amos Cirfat.
“I am particularly impressed that the products of the college who are members of the State Assembly in the persons of Philip Dasun and Naanlong Daniel are true reflections of the quality of learning in the institution, ” he said.
The speaker said that the college had remained an important industry for manpower development in the education sector in the state and Nigeria.
