The Founder and Chief Executive Officer of S Mobile Group, Mr. Kingsley Adonu, has been appointed as patron of Students Union Government (SUG), University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), by the SUG Council.
In a letter dated March 29, 2024 and signed by the SUG President, Comrade Enoch Utazi, the students said Adonu’s appointment was in the interest of the student union government following his antecedents in youth and student constituency both within the University of Nigeria Nsukka and outside the institution.
“It is out of nostalgia and heart full of gratitude that we unanimously appoint you (Kingsley Adonu) as the Patron of the Students Union Government. We believe that this appointment would open more doors for the UNN students,” Utazi said in the letter.
Accepting the appointment, Adonu thanked the student body for the honour and pledged continued support to the SUG and youth in the community.
He said: “I am delighted by this honour you have done me by making me your patron. Truly, the youth is the beacon of hope of the society and that is the reason I leverage every opportunity I have to champion the course for the digital skills development of our young ones.
“Today, there is no course of study in school that does not have an element of technology influencing it. For this reason, S Mobile Tech Hub was instituted to re-equip our youth with hands-on skills needed in today’s workplace and entrepreneurship. Very soon, you will see the hub established in Nsukka area as a complement to the university’s management effort to equip our youth for today and tomorrow’s success”.
“Also, our youth must avoid any form of social vices because only the living can utilise opportunities in their domain to better their worth. Again, remember that the society is waiting to celebrate your innovation.”
