Candidate Manifesto

My name is Chinaenyenwa Ugo, known as “NENNY”, I am a student of Master's in Public Health. My dedication to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all students, both home and international, led me to serve as a class representative for MPH and the Vice-President of the GCU Igbo students association.
