Speaking after the ceremony, which was directed by the college Chaplain, Reverend Patrick Mbanga, the Principal, Professor Grant Kululanga commended the outgoing PSU president and his crew for being a good and cooperative team.

In his remarks, the outgoing PSU president Japhet Nthala explained that it has been a wonderful and amazing journey for him and his team.

To the new leadership, Nthala advised them that they need to inquire and work together with former holders of the positions for extra wisdom and knowledge.

“You need to capitalize on the people around you so that you are able to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency,” he advised.
