I’m happy that we have the support of the Director-General Professor Olawale Moronkola and his team. “This will bring more prestige and credibility to the training. The responses we are getting shows that this could be one of the best training  in recent time .We also have the  support  of some organizations to make the event a success,”  Aweroro said.
