Existence has always meant for man, a succession of challenges. Moreover, the preservation and utilization of natural resources can only be assured through heavy investments in knowledge and ability aimed at all inhabitants of our country Nigeria. Education represents the conscious, deliberate and well equipped aspect of that steady progression which is the law of all human beings. Challenges are still with us and have not loss nothing in each particular life or given community they arise in different combination and obey a different order of priorities.
