Acting director of the centre, Dr. John Onyemauche Oparaduru, who led the delegation, said the visit was to inform the clergy about the existence of NOUN centre at Nsu community and to solicit his help to disseminate information about the centre to his congregations so as to take advantage of ODL which the institution provides.
In his response, Onuoha welcomed the team and applauded the centre’s visit, promising to use his good office to pass the message about the institution to his church members.
