"Remember, the path to entrepreneurial success is rarely linear," Dr. Edet advised. "There will be challenges, setbacks, and moments of doubt, but with perseverance, dedication, and the support of our exceptional staff, you have the potential to achieve remarkable things." He concluded by encouraging students to embrace the skills and opportunities available to them and assured them of the university's unwavering support every step of the way.
