The Vice-Chancellor, University of Benin, Prof. Lilian Salami, has advocated for organised competitions among Centres or Departments of Entrepreneurship Studies in Universities in the country.
She believes that competitions will promote entrepreneurship development and enhance students’ skills.
Professor Salami gave the advice when students from the University of Benin’s Centre for Entrepreneurship Development presented confectioneries, other finger foods and assorted beverages, produced by the students under the University’s Developmental Skills Course, to the Management.
Prof Salami, who praised the students for the high quality of products, was happy that the University is empowering the students while moulding their character and intellect.
The VC, according to a press statement signed by the institution’s Public Relations Officer, Dr. (Mrs.) Benedicta Ehanire, however encouraged the students to keep working hard.
Earlier, the Director of the Centre, Professor Victor Ogie-Igbineweka, thanked the Vice-Chancellor for supporting the Centre with requisite facilities and for encouraging the staff and students to excel.
The University of Benin’s Centre for Entrepreneurship Development creates an opportunity for students to acquire skills that will put them at an economic advantage while still studying and after graduation.
