Guanah, who was visibly elated by Koroje’s visit and advocacy, urged his workforce to tap into NOUN programmes and see what the university offers as an avenue to improve themselves academically in order to get to the very pinnacle of their civil service careers.
Amigo, the head of personnel, who said he was fully aware of the operations of NOUN as well as the solidity of the certificate offered by the university, counseled the council staff to embrace the programmes offered by NOUN and pledged to readily grant them leave during exams if they key into the programmes.
On his part, Angbare expressed appreciation to the management of NOUN for bringing education nearer to them in the community, adding that he would disseminate the good news of the presence of the university in the community among the teeming members of his union.
