According to the leader of the delegation and MR. CAMPUS, Comr. Suleiman Abdulrahman Santali, the decision to appoint Chief Barr.

Responding, Chief Barr. Isaac Danladi appreciated the delegation for finding him worthy of the appointment.
“Thank you for coming to felicitate with me and bestowing this great honor on me.
“I must say I don’t have any choice but to accept this conferment.
“I accepted this recognition because I have been involved, in the past, in Beauty Pageants, Miss Nigeria Football, Face of Nigeria Football, Miss Amnesty, and so on. So, I am very conversant with the role I am supposed to play as a GRAND PATRON.
“I assure you that I and the Ministry will support you in areas necessary to make your aims and objectives achievable.
“Rest assured that my doors will always be opened and those of the Ministry to you.
“However, I admonish you to be mindful of your associations while in school. Belong to Associations that will make you a better person in society.
“With the composition of people in your group, I know you are different because you are responsible and won’t agree with toxic elements that are capable of tarnishing your image and painting the school in a bad light.
“Suffice to say you are the kind of people the Government would want to partner with.”
