Also, I thank members of the Entrepreneurial Essay Panel Defense session; Dr. Christabel Brownson, Ntefon Moses Akpan and Utibe Akwa for patiently listening to the essay contestants display their academic capacities in defending their essays and taking painstaking time to access them, thus determined the winners.
