Bikoko, who is also supporting the school with his personal funds generated from his businesses, said he has a dream to see future scientists, Members of Parliaments, and doctors coming from the school.

In her response, Agerup commended Mkwichi community for the effort they are doing in uplifting standards of education in the country.
