WMF President Ebosetale Okhueleigbe Inspires LASU Students to Own Their Dreams at ICE Connect

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.

Sanwo-Olu Congratulates Marwa, Pedro on Doctorate Awards

Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated the Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Brigadier-General Mohammed Buba Marwa (rtd), and former Deputy Governor of the State, Otunba Olufemi Pedro, for the Honorary Doctorate degrees conferred on them by the Lagos State University (LASU). Marwa, a former Military Administrator of Lagos State, was awarded Doctor of Humane Letters (Infrastructure, Security and National Development) Honoris Causa, while Otunba Pedro, a member of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), received Doctor of Business (Banking, Entrepreneurship and National Development) Honoris Causa during LASU’s 28th Convocation ceremony on Thursday. Governor Sanwo-Olu, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Gboyega Akosile, said the distinguished honourees are exemplary leaders who have left an indelible mark on Lagos State. He said the honours bestowed on Marwa and Pedro are well-deserved considering their roles in the development and growth of LASU, Lagos State and Nigeria in different capacities as public officers and their remarkable impact in their chosen professions. “Your wealth of experience, exemplary leadership, and innovative spirit serve as a beacon of inspiration and have earned you a place among the most revered individuals in our society. These honorary degrees serve as a testament to your unwavering commitment to positive change in the state and nation at large,” he said. Governor Sanwo-Olu said Marwa’s innovative and impactful programmes, such as “Operation 250 Roads” and “Operation Sweep”, spearheaded by him during his regime as the Military Administrator of Lagos State, greatly improved the state’s infrastructure and security. He said Pedro’s exceptional leadership and economic expertise significantly helped to boost Lagos State’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), particularly during his tenure as the deputy to former Governor Bola Tinubu, now President of Nigeria.
