In his remarks, the National Coordinator DRC, Prof. Bashir Galadanci expressed gratitude to the Executive Secretary and the entire UBEC management for their foresight as well as a genuine interest in inspiring creativity, innovation and nurturing problem solvers stating that the vision of UBEC to integrate DTCRA in Basic Education Schools starting with the Smart schools will help the country raise globally competitive learners.
