Com Egbo who spoke in an exclusive interview with ESUT Monitor at the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) International Conference at IMT, Enugu, said his achievements wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the Head of Department, Staff, students and members of executive council adding that “a tree does not make a forest”

The ELS President enumerated the following as the things he has achieved in office “We organised Public Speaking and Essay Writing Competition; conducted departmental orientation for the freshers; cultural festival and Tech-driven online programme; with the cooperation of his executive council members . These activities were created with the aim of enhancing best life and learning experience for the students.

“Of course whatever we are doing wouldn’t be possible without the support of the HOD, the lecturers and students in ELS, so we are grateful to them,” he said.

Despite infrastructural challenges, he was able to create three major programmes – securing sponsorship for signposts for easy location of their office by the students, printing specialized essay writing sheets for their academic competition and establishing a fully equipped office for the storage of their essential equipment and materials.

He expressed prospects that future leaders could build upon the system he has established and gave appreciation to God for being the pillar and overseer of the activities his initiated in his office.
