Inhisremarks, Enahonnacharged the beneficiaries to see the gesture as a unique opportunity to excel in their academics in order to fittingly join in the development of human society.

Enahonna, while urging the students to forget about the seeming limiting circumstances of their study environment and take their studies seriously, also advised them to make books their regular companions as that was the only way to pass both the WAEC and JAMB examinations which they have registered for.

I therefore, advise you to study hard and pass the forthcoming exams in order to be relevant in the highly competitive university admission space.
