In his send-off speech, Mr. Ndago revealed that as a legacy, he has laid the grounds for the St. John Bosco’s college of education to get a second campus as the college plans to start degree programs in the near future. He revealed that land has been acquired at Gaani near Navrongo for this purpose.
Also known for his fatherly but friendly relationship with students, Mr. Ndago said it was the secret to the smooth running of the college and urged the in-coming principal to maintain a cordial relationship with students.
The chairman of the St. John Bosco’s college council and Bishop of the Navrongo-Bolgatanga Diocese, Rt. Rev. Alfred Agyenta inducted the new Principal of the college, William Anamoo Atindana into office.
William Anamoo Atindana served as Vice Principal of the St. John Bosco’s college of education under the out-gone principal, Alfred Abugre Ndago. After his induction as the new principal of the college, Mr. Atindana promised to continue all projects left behind by his predecessor.
