“I am in conversation with the Secretary, Miss Hackett, and I can tell you she already has everything in place, and whatever support that she requested from not just the Ministry, from my State Board, which is NCC, we would have done our part, and we continue to stand by their side. But as you would have seen from the Titan competition, the Calypso competition that happened last night, everything is in train and happening successfully.”
