Deputy Rector of the Institute of Management and Technology (IMT) Enugu, Dr Emeka Patrick Ejim has commended past administration for establishing the Nigerian Institute and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru in 1976.
He extolled the thoughtful foresight of the past leaders and their spirit of ex-raying Nigeria’s problem from the context of leadership over four decades ago, describing it as commendable.
Ejim commended the management of the institute for inspiring great Nigerians who are scholars in policy, strategy and leadership formulation, implementation and monitoring, and evaluation.
According to him, the gained knowledge will never be a waste and he will deploy it to the development of IMT because it has improved him in no small measure.
Patrick who is among Course 49 participants of the Policy Strategic and Leadership Course (PSLC) of NIPSS, said the quantum of knowledge sharing through well-organized lecture periods by the institute is knowledge-based.
“As the Deputy Rector, I will make sure I domesticate the policy, strategy, and leadership knowledge to IMT Enugu, my immediate constituency. The lecture rooms, the management circle, the state, Nigeria and the world as a whole.
“The worthy positive changes inculcated in me by NIPSS through the policies, strategic, and leadership modules, will affect my immediate environment MY FAMILY, and the functionality of IMT,” Ejim said
While counting it a blessing as a beneficiary who was opportuned to be a participant for the NIPSS’ PSLC Course 49, he said he has strategically equipped, improved, and is now good to go for policy formulation, analysis, and policy management.
“My leadership quotient has positively increased and improved with the robust class works, and group thinking.” He said
Ejim commended Enugu State Governor, His Excellency Barr Peter Mba for his support in ensuring that the young emerging leaders are strategically positioned to effect change wherever they find themselves.
According to him, Mba is no doubt, taking the state to another layer of development for the benefit of humanity, especially the people of Enugu State.
He also thanked the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof Onyia for his constant support to Governor Mba to have an Enugu State for the dream of its sons and daughters.
For their relentless efforts to make IMT an academic based for learning, he appreciated the institution’s Chairman, Prof Ed Nwobodo, and the Rector, Prof A.U. Nweze for their approval for him to attend the course.
