“As an organisation, we will sit and consider definite areas where we can give our full support.

”We are giving you all the support because it is not easy to get grant from UNESCO.

”We are committed to supporting the project in terms of more technocrats in the areas you want members of NOGALSS to be involved; just let us know our specific assignment.

”Be rest assured that we will be with you and stand by you to see to the success of the project, because you have done a very great job,” Emmanuel said.

On her part, the Board Chairperson of NSSEC, Ambassador Nimota Akanbi, commended the organisation for the initiative and assured LMF of future partnership for national reach in line with NSSEC mandate.
