On the 10th edition of the Annual TRACE Commanders’ Conference, Cdr. Ogunyemi posited that the Conference is so special to him as it marks a turning point, as well as a transition to a new leadership that will bring in fresh ideas to further build upon the solid foundation already laid by his leadership.
