He called on students to love sciences and take care of the laboratory, wishing them the best education.
College Principal Fr Joseph Migidi thanked the Jesuit for renovating the laboratory and availing apparatus and chemicals.
He said 265 girls are among 835 students registered this academic year and 172 candidates would benefit from the new laboratory.
