UEE VC Inaugurates Business School Board and SPIMC, Charges Committees to Drive Skills-Based Entrepreneurship and Strategic Development

The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Education and Entrepreneurship (UEE), Akamkpa, Prof. Patrick N. Asuquo, has officially inaugurated the newly appointed members of the UEE Business School Technical Board and the Strategic Plan Implementation Monitoring Committee (SPIMC).

He charged the committees to advance the University’s vision for skills-driven entrepreneurship and sustained strategic growth.

Prof. Asuquo expressed gratitude to the appointees for accepting the responsibilities, emphasizing that in today’s global economy, excellence is measured by competence, creativity, and practical entrepreneurial capacity rather than academic credentials alone.

Highlighting the significance of the UEE Business School, he said,
"The Business School will serve as a catalyst for economic empowerment within our university community and beyond. We aim to produce graduates who identify opportunities, harness technology, adapt to change, and create innovative solutions—individuals capable of shaping communities and industries."

On the role of SPIMC, he urged diligent monitoring of institutional progress to ensure alignment with UEE’s strategic blueprint, encouraging the committee to provide quarterly recommendations to management.

Responding on behalf of the committees, Dr. Bassey Effiom Ene, Chairman of SPIMC, thanked the University leadership and pledged that the committees would work with passion, integrity, and commitment to advance UEE’s development trajectory.
