His message to the Alumni and borrowing from the famous words of former President Nelson Mandela, "[e]ducation is the most powerful weapon which you could use to change the world", thus it is important that we invest in our institution and ensure that there are funds to assist those who are less privileged to study, succeed and create a future where unemployment does not exist.
