The President of the Women Mentorship Forum (WMF), Ebosetale Okhueleigbe, has called on university students to stay committed to their dreams regardless of life’s challenges.
Speaking during her keynote address at the ICE Connect event organized by the Department of Information and Communication Engineering (ICE) at Lagos State University (LASU), Okhueleigbe urged students to take full ownership of their personal journeys and reject negative influences.
“You cannot control how you started, but you can control how you finish,” she said. “Nobody will come to your rescue—not even your mentors or parents. You are the chief executive officer of your life. Own your story, walk your path, and run your race.”
Okhueleigbe, an award-winning humanitarian and strategic leader, emphasized the importance of self-belief and positive affirmations. She encouraged students to define their self-worth independently and to convert negativity into positive outcomes.
With an impressive career spanning tax auditing, technology, public service, and civic leadership, Okhueleigbe is the founder of P.S.L. and holds advanced certifications from prestigious institutions such as Harvard Business School and the London School of Business Administration. She is widely recognized for turning passion into purpose and making a measurable impact in her fields of influence.
ICE Connect, the hosting platform, is an initiative of LASU’s Department of Information and Communication Engineering. It aims to strengthen communication, collaboration, and support between students and faculty, while also equipping young engineers with real-world insights and mentorship opportunities.
