He said both local and foreign training got the necessary attention under Bogoro’s watch because of their importance in reviving dwindling Education Sector. 

“It is important to note that, almost if not all the current infrastructures the Nigerian Universities and other tartiarry institutions can boast of are few among many too numerous to  mention of Bogoro’s legacies as an Executive Secretary of TETFUND. 

“These Infrastructural development ranges from Road networks,halls of high capacity and magnitude, construction and furnishing of new faculties, Departments ,Offices and laboratories to support local Research and innovations, libraries and many more”
