Gbarnga, Bong County— The President of the Bong County Technical College (BCTC), Dr. Alfredson Taikerweyah, has outlined major achievements under his leadership since taking on the institution in April this year.
In a defense speech of US$40,000 allotted to the College by the Bong County’s Administration Wednesday, October 23, 2024, during the “2024 County Council Sitting”, Dr. Taikerweyah named the Accreditation of the college’s Nursing Department, completion of tie-laying in the graduation hall of the college, improvement on the college’s Presidential Office, and the reconditioning of some parts of the building’s roof as major achievements made under his leadership.
Additionally, Dr. Taikerweyah named the repair of the institution’s 100KVA Generator and the School Bus, cementing the front view of the college, preparing a modern and up-to-date Students’ Center, and redesigning the stage of the graduation hall, amongst others, as some components of the progress made.
At the same time, Dr. Taikerweyah furthered that despite these achievements; his administration has also been challenged in meeting these achievements. He emphasized that the alleged failure of the past administration to present a comprehensive turnover note impedes the smooth operations of his leadership; adding that it indicates partly a new operating system for his leadership.
Moreover, the Bong County Technical College’s President revealed that the alleged refusal of the past leadership to turn over the presidential vehicle is also impeding the smooth transportation efforts of his office.
Meanwhile, Dr. Taikerweyah used the medium to commend the County’s Administration for allotting US$40,000 in the draft budget for the Institution. He emphasized that out of that amount, US$30,000 would be used to purchase a seventeen-seated bus, while the remaining USD$10,000 would be used to establish an Agricultural Laboratory for agriculture seculars.
He ended by pledging his administration’s commitment to serving in the best interest of every student attending the Institution.
