“I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to connect with students and educators from across Nigeria,” Kelvin said in a statement. “We had meaningful discussions about advancing maker learning initiatives.”
Kelvin also met with the Vice Chancellor of Covenant University, Professor Timothy A. Anake, and described the meeting as productive. He said their talks would help shape the next phase of his work with the university.
He also thanked his brother Kennedy for hosting him in Lagos and making him feel at home during his short visit.
