At the start of the program, Mrs. Dele Tejuoso, founder of Wificombat academy re-introduced the Oracle Academy program to students and teachers in attendance. She also explained the benefits of schools being a member of the Oracle academy which is enjoying trainings such as the Oracle Apex Training.
