Anambra Youth Commander Initiates Overhaul of Iconic UNIZIK SUG Complex, Giant House, in Historic Renovation Move

In a move to restore a symbol of student governance, Hon. Gabriel Chukwunwendu, the Anambra Youth Commander and Chairman/CEO of Pool King Global Investment Limited, has launched the long-overdue renovation of the Student Union Government (SUG) complex at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Giant House.

The SUG complex, which houses offices for SUG executives, including the Legislative arm, had languished in neglect for eighteen years, rendering it unusable for meetings and official proceedings. The initiative to breathe life back into this vital student hub began when Hon. Chukwunwendu, responding to an invitation from the UNIZIK SUG President, visited the facility last week.

He emphasized the importance of investing in one's hometown and underscored the campaign for collective responsibility in fostering positive change.

The Anambra Youth Commander sees the renovation as not only a correction of infrastructural decay but also as a philanthropic endeavor to give back to society and strengthen the Students' Union at the University.
