HURRAY! AFE BABALOLA SPE STUDENT CHAPTER HAS BEEN INAUGURATED!
The inauguration of Afe Babalola was no doubt a huge success. The section by this feat has once again showcased her willingness to the spirit of volunteering and mentoring of young minds, and the undying desire to take SPE Benin section to the next level in terms of membership strength and SPE activities.
SPE ABUAD, as popularly called, student chapter was established on the 24th of February, 2014 by SPEI board of directors upon the dogged and unrelenting push from Victor Anochie, the chapter faculty sponsor, Prof Igbafe, the HOD and the fatherly blessing of the Founder, Aare Afe Babalola. Others are Nosa Aisien and Ikponmwosa Ohenhen. This initiative is simply commendable. For this laudable action, the current section board saw it, as a matter of urgency, to make the inauguration as one of its first priority this council year. Today, it is a dream comes true.
