The WASU president told Gov. Ugwuanyi that the award was also \u201cin recognition of your tremendous\/consistent empowerment of students\/youths, community and humanity in general within Nigeria and beyond\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking to newsmen shortly after the event, Comrade Pillah said: \u201cWhen we completed the assignment, we moved round and discovered that the governor of this state (Ugwuanyi) has done so much for students and in other areas of societal development. And it was wise for us to come and identify with him so that we take back the message of what he has done in Nigeria as a governor.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving discovered that he is one of the best performing governors in Nigeria in terms of education, promotion of students\u2019 wellbeing and sponsorship, we have bestowed on him the Chief Custodian of WASU because this is our constituency and community.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who does well to our community is worthy of appreciation and we couldn\u2019t do better than bestowing on him (Ugwuanyi) as the Chief Custodian of WASU in Nigeria\u201d.<\/p>\n

The student leaders, therefore, urged Gov. Ugwuanyi to remain focused and committed to his uncommon leadership style which has entrenched peace and good governance in Enugu State, wishing him success in his endeavours.Responding, Gov.
