Shsibu, who is also the institution’s chief executive officer, revealed, “We have completed the administrative phase of repositioning the NIS, and that’s why we’ve opened the admission for the next intakes.
“This is the first set and they are lucky, because we’ve reorganized everything about the institute from the lecturers to the curriculum as part of the plan to turn it into a global institution.”
Shabu’s media aide, Ben Ogbemudia added that the former Edo State deputy governor also advised the new intakes to be law abiding and disciplined, in order to become effective coaches and administrators.
