And you Bala, thank you so much for the same, you encouraged me, letting me align with the work as well, may God keep you safe and Gran you the success of your heart, I know fully you want to specialise in distributed systems under databases, I know God hears and he will grant you that in his due time, Salaton is great guy, he has shown me being humble and he believes in me, God please take care of them for me, Salaton, Bala, Dr Ngure and Ann, may God keep you safe and keep your heads high above.
