Dr. Chima Anyaso Delivers Inspiring Maiden Alumni Lecture at Ebonyi State University
Ebonyi State University (EBSU) has held its first-ever Alumni Lecture, drawing attention across academic and business circles. The lecture, themed “From Classroom to Boardroom,” was delivered by distinguished entrepreneur and philanthropist, Dr. Chima Desmond Anyaso, an alumnus of the institution.
The event took place at the university campus and was well attended by principal officers of the university, faculty members, students, and alumni. It marked a significant moment in the university’s push to bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world experience.
Dr. Anyaso, who has built a solid reputation in business and philanthropy, used the platform to share his personal journey from student life to boardroom leadership. He spoke on the role education played in shaping his mindset, stressing the importance of discipline, vision, and resilience as critical tools for success.
He encouraged current students to view education not just as a requirement for employment, but as a launchpad for leadership, entrepreneurship, and social impact.
“This lecture series is a bridge,” Dr. Anyaso said, “connecting where you are to where you can be. The classroom gave me the tools. I used them to build.”
University officials described the event as a bold and timely initiative to boost student-alumni engagement and mentorship. They applauded Dr. Anyaso’s consistent contributions to national development and pledged to make the Alumni Lecture Series a recurring tradition.
The lecture is expected to pave the way for more impactful conversations between EBSU and its global network of alumni, with a focus on mentorship, empowerment, and opportunity creation.
