  1. Thank you very much for this initiative. The story is well-written. However, let me point out three minor errors: 1. A Ph.D. graduate should be addressed as Dr. and not Mr. Secondly, Mr. Atanda is not one of the Ph. D. graduates. Thirdly, the correct name of the representative of the Chairman of ACCE is Dr. John Orhewere. Once again, many thanks. Dr. Eserinune McCarty Mojaye, LOC Secretary
