Governor Sule however lamented the present level of dilapidation and decay in the school, stressing that his administration will revamp the school, fully equip it and make Government Technical School Assakio conducive for learning.
“The essence my rushing here is to see things for myself. Now that we are going to equip Lafia, can we equip to two of them at the same time? Before I equip any school like that, I needed to see things for myself,” he stated.
“I made a promise to the people of Assakio, during the campaigns, that because of my love for technical education, if elected, I will do everything possible that I can, to ensure that I equip the school.
“But it looks like the school requires more than equipment, because it needs to be renovated, the hostels are in bad condition, the whole environment is actually in a terrible condition, from what I have seen,” the Governor said.
