“We have been able to give scholarships to different people, especially indigent people. We have also been able to train people who are graduates” Achor said.

“I know he will continue to keep me until I am 100 years old. I have achieved a lot in life. I have done so well in my area of discipline and other areas. God has been so kind to me and things have been working so perfectly for me by God grace”
