During the holiday rather than them sit at home and do nothing give them to us. We’ll fix them you know across these internship places. Number one they are being productive during holidays.
Then number two there’s a link between academia and industry. So by the time they get to NYSC and they finish NYSC they already have some experience. So there’s strategic linkages between us and critical partners and when we are done.
