He stated that “ATTWON won my heart when they approached me in 2018 about taking the transport department students on their roles and importance to domestic tourism. I attended the first training in late 2018.
The three-tiers training in 2019 was superb! Despite the pandemic, they held series of online talks and training with the sophomore and graduating students on how to be self-reliant in 2020. I had to ensure that I was also present to deliver a paper, gift and commendation on behalf of my students and the department.
