Engr. Chukwudi Egwu Fidelis, a proud Nnamdi Azikiwe University alum from the 2016/2017 Mechanical Engineering set, has dropped ₦750,000 in scholarships for five lucky students via his US-based CEF Scholarship Foundation. Four from Engineering, one from Arts—each gets ₦150,000 to ease their academic grind.
Big props to Associate Prof. Azaka Onyemazu Andrew, former Mechanical Engineering HOD and ASUU-NAU Students Relations Convener, for making this happen. The award ceremony doubled as a milestone for Engr. Prof. Ugochukwu Okonkwo, who, on his first day as Dean of Engineering, hailed the gesture as a blueprint for alumni-student collab.
The selection? No favoritism here—a rigorous, merit-based process ensured the cream rose to the top. Azaka revealed Chukwudi’s plan to make this an annual gig, with potential for bigger impact down the line.
Meet the Champs:
- David Inawo Ishebi (300L, Religion & Human Relations)
- Ezenwankwor Chioma Anita (400L, Mech Eng)
- Ogugua Chukwudi Ignatius (400L, Chem Eng)
- Onowu Chinedu Emmanuel (500L, Mech Eng)
- Chukwudum Chibuike Charles-Mary (500L, Elect & Comp Eng)
Chioma Anita, speaking for the squad, poured out gratitude to Chukwudi, the Faculty, and everyone who chipped in, wishing them blessings galore. This isn’t just cash—it’s a lifeline, a nod to excellence, and a call for more alumni to step up.
Congrats, stars! Keep shining.
