The Edo State Commissioner of Education, Dr Emmanuel Paddy Iyamu on Thursday addressed the outstanding electricity bills owed by Irrua Technical College.
During the visit, Dr. Iyamu emphasized the significance of providing a conducive learning environment for students, stating that clearing the outstanding bills was essential for ensuring uninterrupted access to electricity in the college.
