Speaking at the occasion, the Director General/Chief Executive of NITT, Dr. Bayero Salih Farah, observed that the relationship between NACETEM and NITT dates back over a decade.
“We trace back the relationship between NITT and NACETEM several years back”, he noted, adding that “signing of the MoU was the climax of the relationship.”
Dr. Farah expressed optimism about the MoU, given the conscientiousness and commitment of both parties.
“We appreciate your commitment and we are going to show equal level of commitment to ensure that we derive the benefit of the MoU”, he noted.
In his remarks, the overseeing Director General of NACETEM, Dr. Omimakinde John Akintayo, who acknowledged the serene and conducive environment at NITT, expressed his organisation’s commitment to realising the objectives of the MoU.
“When we signed the MoU, our interest is to make it work”, he stated.
