Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It's about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results and influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work. These men have been able to influence not just their cliques of friends or departments but their faculties and the school generally. The mere mention of their names commands a lot of respect and admiration.
This list currently in its second year is an attempt by the INFOSCOPE-FUTO to profile and recognize students in final year who are leaving behind their indelible marks in the sands of Politics, Leadership, Education and Administration. However, we think this list is not exhaustive but because we needed to profile ten students out of the pools of names sent in by our esteemed readers we are restricted to just this.They appear in no particular order
1.Barr. Comr. Opara Joseph Pa Chigo
Some men pull the strings in FUTO politics, but then there are those who control those who pull the strings, Pa Chigo as he is fondly called falls into the latter.If you do not Know Pa Chigo then there is a chance you are not a FUTO student. He is the chairman of the largest political party in FUTO, the Coalition National Party and one time President of the prestigious FUTO Bar association. One of the few FUTO politicians that has around him this aura of elegance and charisma. He is no doubt somebody many FUTO students look up to.
2. Comr. Okereke Godson.
Bishop as he is fondly called is the immediate past SUG President under the Aluta Impression. One man known for his political dexterity, eloquence and pragmatism. Little wonder at his handover/inauguration of the present SUG executives the Vice Chancellor in his speech called him the best SUG president he has ever worked with. While he was the SUG president he was also the Chairman, council of SUG Presidents in Imo State. He is currently the President Imo youth Liberation Movement.
3. Hon. Onuegbu Emmanuel.
‘Emma Ngwo’ as he is fondly called is a grassroots politician that has risen along the ranks to become the Chairman of the PDP in FUTO. He is a onetime Member, Students Representing Council that represented Mathematics Constituency. When you are playing opposition to the ruling party, you know politics isn’t easy. Emma Ngwo has comfortably done that and is still raising his head high.
4. Hon. Nwannah Dexter:
An Honourable commissioner in the Independent students Electoral Commission in this year’s FUTO SUG election, Dexter is the board of trustees Chairman of the largest political party in FUTO; the Coalition National party and a onetime Member Students Representative Council that represented Environmental Technology Constituency. He is a man that is well respected in School of Environmental Technology where he emanates. He carries with him this confident demeanor that has endeared him to many.
5. Comr. Akpan Cyril.
If you have not attended any event or program in FUTO where ‘A Cyril’ was the compère then you’ve not attended any event in School. He is the immediate past SUG Public relations officer and a student of Environment Technology. He is arguably the best compère FUTO has now. If you are looking at being the best of a publicist in FUTO, you are looking at being Cyril.
6. Comr. Joshua Ihejiamaizu
Joshua may not be a politician but his influence in the tech community in FUTO cannot be overlooked. He is a final year Electrical and Electronics Engineering student who has ruled the tech space in FUTO for few years now. He is the immediate past technical director of Enactus FUTO and Co-owner of Nixit, a company that leverages on IT to deliver innovative health solutions. In 2013 he won the NASA Space Challenge alongside two other FUTO students and represented team Nigeria at the Enactus worldcup at Washignton in 2012.
7. Comr. Okonkwo Bruno
Obama as he is popularly known, is the immediate past Secretary General of the Students Union Government and a powerful politician from Project Management Technology Department. His Politics has transcended FUTO and he now holds some enviable offices in the mainstream politics, in the PDP precisely.
8. Comr. Egwuatu Francis Beacon.
A man of many things to many persons. To some he is a politician, to others a journalist and to some others a model. Just recently he became the Mr. Nigeria Universe after becoming Mr. Universe Anambra last year. He is a founding member of The Infoscope-FUTO, a onetime Secretary General of Hall E, Society of Mechanical Engineering Students and finally Nigerian Universities Engineering Students Association. When next you see a Toyota Matrix Car branded “Mr Anambra Universe” around school, Know it is Francis Beacon.
9. Comr. Dike Susan
The National Women leader Coalition Party FUTO and a former Hall C Governor and SUG Treasurer. One of the few female politicians that worth their onions. She is a student of Financial Management Technology and a politician so many females look up to.
10. Patriot Ejeh Ogonna
The fear of ‘Man-O-War’ they say, is the beginning of wisdom in FUTO . They command a lot of respect wherever they go. They are charged with the sole responsibility of protecting the lives and properties of Nigerian students. Somebody is in charge of this command and Ejeh Ogbonna is the one. He is a final year student of Biotechnology department
