Barely few weeks after assuming the mantle of leadership at the Lamin Institute of Professional Studies (LIPS), Mrs. Blessing Osagie, a Nigerian-born academician, has spoken of her sheer desire to transform LIPS into an enviable first-class training institute in The Gambia.

In an interview with this paper, the newly-appointed Principal of LIPS said that she is poised to work hand in glove with the lecturers of LIPS to ensure quality never drop at the institute.

“LIPS will spare no effort in empowering Gambian youths with sound entrepreneurial skills to enable them contribute meaningfully towards nation building,” said Mrs. Osagie.

According to her, plans are underway for LIPS to launch new innovative packages in a bid to make the institute more responsive to the training needs of Gambians and other nationals resident in The Gambia.
