The Professor of Physics and Provost of Jackson State University USA, said: “It also provides a platform for highly driven individuals and organizations to acquire the requisite tools and knowledge that will give them a competitive edge and make them more effective”.
He said the APFTL organised the Garden City award in Kumasi earlier this year.Source: GNA
