The leader of Enugu State House of Assembly, Dr Ikechukwu Ezeugwu, has urged persons in the corporate world to enroll and participate actively in partisan politics in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. In that way, Ezeugwu said, they would have elastic opportunities of reaching out to so many more needy persons in the society…
Ezeugwu gave that charge in his remarks during the recent 12th edition of the African Achievers Awards at the Queen’s Gate London, United Kingdom. Previous Honourees include the late Bishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation of the United States of America, among other notable world individuals and corporate personalities.
In his lecture, Ezeugwu stated that his foundation started the scholarship programme in 2013, after winning the election to represent Udenu State Constituency in the Enugu State House of Assembly in 2011, noting that it was his own way of giving back to society.
