A Loss That Echoes Through Our Halls

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of Prof. Boniface Edegbai. To many of us, he was more than just the Director of the Centre for Entrepreneurship Development (CED); he was a guiding light, a disciplinarian with a vision, and a man who believed in the potential of every student who walked through his doors.

The Face of Our Early Journey

For most students, our first real encounter with the world of professional innovation and entrepreneurship happened under his watch. Whether it was during 100-level orientation or the foundational CED courses, Prof. Edegbai’s presence was a constant. He didn't just teach business; he taught us the value of resilience and the importance of creating value in a changing world.

A Legacy of Impact

Under his leadership, the CED became a hub for creativity. He was instrumental in pushing students to think beyond the classroom—an influence that resonates deeply with those of us in technical fields like Engineering, where the bridge between theory and real-world application is so vital.

Rest in Peace, Professor

The "Director" may have left us, but his footprints remain etched in the curriculum he built and the minds he ignited. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, colleagues, and the entire student body during this mourning period.

"The influence of a great teacher can never be erased."

May the soul of Prof. Boniface Edegbai rest in perfect peace. 🕊️
