Unveiled on Thursday, April 4, 2024, the Leo Stan Ekeh Foundation (LSEF) Centers aim to equip students with essential skills tailored to meet the demands of the modern workforce.
At IMSU, programs such as the Finishing School, Entrepreneurship Boost Training, and specialized courses in Technology and Artificial Intelligence Viability will be offered, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship among students.
The LSEF Center at IMSU is not just a physical space but a gateway to global private sector leaders who will inspire and mentor students using cutting-edge technology deployed at the center. Prof. U. U. Chukwumaeze(SAN), Vice Chancellor of IMSU, commended Ekeh’s futuristic vision, and appreciated his continuous support for the institution, including recent interventions to aid accreditation processes.
