Students are now being taught theory basically, foregoing the practical aspect, that informed the institution not producing seasoned athletes or sportsmen and women for the state.
The students appealed to the authority concerned to help put the school back on track to fulfill the purpose it was set up as the school has a good prospect if attention is given to it on time. ###
