The Registrar gave the commendation when the Chairman, paid him a courtesy visit in his office in Bwari, Abuja.

“He is one of our brains, our pride in the South West, he has paid his dues. He is a person involved in all trades and master of all. I thanked the President for appointing a man like him.”
The Registrar said FCSC is one of the agencies, which if properly empowered, can readily resolve some of the challenges we have in this country.
