“The classroom approach is old-fashioned but this will be giving them exposure, something they cannot buy.”
The Akwa Ibom State Government has sponsored 31 student leaders from the state to Abuja for a leadership training.
Governor Udom Emmanuel’s aide on student matters, Akwaowo Ukpong, who disclosed this to PREMIUM TIMES, Monday, said the student leaders were selected from different tertiary institutions across the state.Mr Ukpong said the training was the first of its kind in the state and that it would afford the participants the opportunity to learn leadership skills “that are not taught in the classroom”.
“The classroom approach is old-fashioned but this will be giving them exposure, something they cannot buy. It is an experience that will give them more confidence to dialogue with their own constituents. “So we picked the leaders of different student groups, NAAKIS, NANS, female students association, Niger Delta student’s representatives, local government student leaders, student union government of all government schools, University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State University and the rest.
