Atu, who is an alumnus of ESUT, explained the need for political office holders from Enugu State and alumni of the University to collaborate with the University in the area of promoting scholarship and mentorship among students and young academics.
He added that “as political leaders and products of this prestigious University, we must initiate and sustain healthy interaction with the Institution and see areas where we could provide some assistance. I am a proud product of ESUT and I am ever willing to associate with the University.”

He appealed to the lawmaker to attend the conference and help the Faculty in achieving some of its laudable dreams. “We have followed your impressive activities since 2023, and I can say you have done well. As the product of University, we are proud to associate with you and the Faculty wants you to attend this conference as a special guest.”
Earlier, Dr. Apeh explained that the conference would hold in June 2025 and Hon Atu has been nominated by the Faculty Board of Studies for special recognition. Apeh said the award would be a recognition of Atu’s unwavering partnership with the University within the last 17 months.
