Just In : Nekede Polytechnic Rector Bags Outstanding Personally Award
In a blaze of splendour, the Rector of Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Engr. Dr. Michael Arimanwa FNSE, last Saturday bagged an Outstanding Personality Award before an audience of over two thousand delegates.
The award was given to the Rector in a leadership conference hosted at Landmark Event Centre, Owerri, by Jamie Pajoel International (JPI). The remarkable award was in honour of the great leadership exploits he has made in the polytechnic in the areas of human capacity development, technological breakthrough, infrastructural transformation and massive ICT deployment in the frontline polytechnic.
Speaking at the occasion, the founder of the Canada-based organization, Jamie Pajoel, appreciated the Rector for the outstanding achievements he has recorded in Federal Polytechnic Nekede through effective leadership. Thus, he expressed hope that the award would spur him to greater leadership attainments in the institution where he superintends. He also thanked him for personally coming to collect the award.
Responding, the smart Rector expressed gratitude to the JPI Group for finding him worthy for leadership award. He also appreciated the group for keeping track of the excellent leadership strides taken by his administration in Federal Polytechnic Nekede. The cerebral scholar thanked the group for the timeliness of the leadership summit aimed at preparing the youth for great attainments.
According to the Rector, “We are motivated by what is happening here today. Some of the things said here are what we have been telling our students. I am glad that a lot of young people are here because there is no other way to go than moving forward. The theme of moving forward which this conference espouses calls the attention of everyone to strive to be strategic in life, and not live a life that directly reflects the Adamic age. We will continue to support Jamie Pajoel International in ways we can. May I once again express my heartfelt gratitude for the award. Thank you!”
The Outstanding Personality Award on the Rector comes barely two weeks after he received an award of honour from the Federal Polytechnic Nekede Owerri Women’s Association (FEPNOWA) for his outstanding leadership initiatives in women’s development.
Recall that Engr. Dr. Michael Arimanwa has also bagged Best Rector Award in over three occasions in addition to so many others given by national and international organizations. Notably, all the awards bagged by the Rector are owed to his uncommon leadership exploits.
Meanwhile, the JPI leadership award series inaugurated last Saturday also had many local and international speakers who spoke on the theme “Moving Forward,” among whom were a frontline presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, Prof Pat Utomi, Dr. Chris Asoluka, Dr Summy Smart, Dr. Linus Okorie and Barr. Austine Nnadi, among others.
