Nation-Builders College of Technology (NABCOTECH) Asaba, a fast growing tertiary educational institution, has reiterated her commitment to producing graduates with technological innovations and creativity, which are basics for self independence and self employment.

‘’Our focus here, is on creativity, which to me, is the introduction of substance from the abstract. As well as innovation which is the application of an already existing idea. You hardly find anybody teaching creativity in Nigeria’s present tertiary system. NABCOTECH, Asaba, wants to be the pacesetter in that area’’ he said.

Anuku, opined that developed countries across the world, were able to achieve their economic buoyancy by merging theoretical concepts and practicals. He noted that the institution will not loose interest in the spirit of entrepreneur.
