The assurance is sequel to the request made by the PTA of the school during a courtesy call led by its Chairman Evangelist Emmanuel Archibong.

He as well appreciated an ex-pupil of the school, Apostle (Dr.) James Anam, DG of the Cross River State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) for facilitating the sinking of a water-bole hole in the school by the Cross River State First Lady Rev.
