There is a proverb that says, “it takes a village to raise a child”. Tongues and Theatre Enterprise (TATE) is my child and I am grateful that the National Open University of Nigeria ( NOUN) is that village committed to its growth. I am grateful for members of that village- the Vice Chancellor: Prof. Olufemi Peters, the Director: Prof. Juliet Inegbedion, the Coordinator of the North Central Incubation Centre: Dr. Basil Ibebunjo and everyone on their teams. May this child grow and make its parents and the village proud. Amen
