GOVERNOR EMMANUEL SPONSORS FIRST EVER LEADERSHIP TRAINING/RETREAT FOR AKWA IBOM STUDENTS.

Akwa Ibom State students receive with joy and appreciation, Governor Udom Emmanuel's kind gesture of sponsoring student leaders in the state to Abuja for leadership training/retreat.

It is on record that this is the first ever leadership and capacity development training facilitated by the state government for student leaders. It is billed to run from Monday, August 9, 2021 to Friday, August 13, 2021.

This latest gesture from His Excellency is in tandem with his unalloyed quest to uplift the capacity and intellectual content of our students. It is a fatherly gift and blessing that is well appreciated by the children.

His Excellency grooms student leaders to create lasting impact in the student community. His mentorship has also made students realize that the baton of leadership and advocacy passed from the older generation must not be dropped by the present generation.

As a roadmap to self awareness, self development and an eye opener to opportunities and connections which often elude the younger generation, our Governor is ensuring that effective utilization of our capabilities is enhanced.

The training/retreat is a testament to the Governor's unparalleled love for education which has culminated in regular recruitment of teachers, massive renovation/ fencing of schools, improved infrastructures on campuses, regular subvention to state-owned tertiary institutions, free tuition in primary and secondary schools in the state, among others.

Worthy of note is that his administration has given utmost attention to other sectors by promoting quality health care delivery, security, economic development, sustenance of peace, agriculture, aviation development, sports etc. The triumph of Akwa United in the Nigeria Professional Football League is a reward for state government's investment in sports.

Participants of the training/ retreat assures His Excellency that it will yield multiplier effects and most importantly have the immediate effect of redefining student leadership in our respective tertiary institutions.

Participants shall upon their return, train others thereby making more students to be involved in effective leadership processes in our institutions of higher learning.

Constituents of the Akwa Ibom State Student Community literally doff their hats in profound appreciation to the Governor and the Akwa Ibom State Government.

We send uncountable 'gbosas' to our students-friendly Governor.
