The new transformer was installed and successfully commissioned, ensuring that the school would no longer experience power interruptions.
The Hon. Commissioner, Modibbo UA Ahmed, personally led a team from the Ministry of Power, Science, and Technology to deliver and install the new transformer. The installation was completed promptly, restoring power to the school and allowing students and faculty to resume their academic activities without further disruptions.
In a statement, the beneficiaries of the gesture – students, staff, and management of the Ambassador MC Abubakar OVC Technical College – expressed their profound gratitude to Governor Bala Mohammed for his prompt response and generous support. The donation has significantly improved the learning environment, providing the necessary infrastructure to support modern education.
