A 510 Kilometer drive started at OUT’s HQ Dar es Salaam, where we had a brief meeting with Prof. Deus Ngaruko; the Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic. It was a pleasure to have OUT’s Management blessings. Among other things, during the briefing, it was clear that our action had support from the university. The team assured the university management of their continued CC advocacy through the existing University networks in the country.
