Owner
The institution is owned by controversial city pastor Peter Manyuru. He reportedly acquired the institution after the founder relocated to the United States of America.
He is the chairman board of Directors and also the Chief Principal at the college.
Manyuru has had his fair share of controversies that have led to members of the public questioning his moralities as a man of God.
In 2015, he grabbed national headlines after he was accused of allegedly using his influence to take advantage of female students at the college.
Manyuru was accused of allegedly impregnating several girls at the college and then abandoning them. According to various media reports, he later married a student he had impregnated as his second wife.
