College are indeed not just solution providers, but also life
savers. The impact of their innovation &#8211; the Gas Leakage Detector – would go a
very long way at solving the problem of fire outbreaks due to gas leakages in
homes, offices, and industries. I  ;believe that they would make Nigeria and
indeed the rest of Africa proud at the competition. We are delighted to
associate with them and congratulate Junior Achievement on the feats so far attained”.</p>
