The Secretary to the Cross River State Government, Prof. Anthony Owan-Enoh has stressed the need for students to prioritize setting achievable goals and remaining focused on their dreams and aspirations.
Prof. Owan-Enoh, a renowned Professor of Education, said this on Monday when he received the Faculty of Arts Students’ Association (FASA) Secretary Generals Forum at his office in Calabar. While sharing his personal story of how mentorship played a crucial role in his success, he encouraged students to avoid peer pressure and instead, embrace mentorship and humbly learn from the older generation, highlighting the importance of seeking guidance and support. “In today’s world, most young men don’t want to be mentored, they just want to grow without a significant ‘order’ but there is nothing as inspiring and educative as having a role model, that role model is the person who will define your every action and ensure you are on track” he said.
Comrade Alicia Johnson, the Secretary General of FASA, who led the delegation expressed gratitude to Prof. Owan-Enoh for his time and attention. She further explained that the meeting aimed to foster collaboration and seek guidance on how students can contribute to the development of the state and emphasized the need for a stronger relationship between the office of the SSG and the student community, recognizing his role in promoting educational productivity and youth development.
As a seasoned educator and former Provost and VC of the College of Education Akamkpa and the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) respectively, Owan-Enoh’s achievements in education have yet to be rivaled, making him an exemplary role model for students.
The Secretaries in attendance were; Comrade David Godman, Comrade Slvia, Favour, Comrade Otie Emmanuella and Comrade Blessing Ita.
