The Alumni said it has restrained itselve from providing costs for the projects,”because they’ve become unrealistic in view of the hyper inflationary nature of the country’s economy adding, “we will therefore advise that those interested in respective projects should do their costing at the point of actual execution. If any branches, sets, groups, individuals or corporate organisations decide on a pick, all they need to do is to consult any relevant technical adviser on costs.”
