The president also promised the students that he will construct a new classroom for them before the year ends.

“I will give instructions to the Ministry of Housing so that we can build the first block that will house at least 500 students here and I want that block to be completed before the end of this year so that the students coming to school next year have a good place to stay,” the president added.
