THE ESAN VANGUARD

TOGETHER WE RISE AS ONE FACULTY BY RT. HON. TEMIDAYO FRIDAY SPEAKER, ESAN–AFUED FACULTY PARLIAMENT (2024/2025 ACADEMIC SESSION) UNITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE HEARTBEAT OF PROGRESS. A SINGLE BROOMSTICK BREAKS EASILY, BUT A BUNDLE STANDS STRONG. AS STUDENTS AND LEADERS UNDER THE EDUCATION STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (ESAN–AFUED), OUR STRENGTH LIES NOT IN OUR DIFFERENCES, BUT IN THE POWER OF OUR TOGETHERNESS. AS JOHN C. MAXWELL ONCE SAID, “TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK, BUT VISION KEEPS THE TEAM ON TRACK.” EVERY DEPARTMENT, EVERY REPRESENTATIVE, AND EVERY MEMBER OF OUR FACULTY HAS A UNIQUE ROLE IN SHAPING THE GREATNESS WE ALL DESIRE TO SEE. WHEN HANDS JOIN AND HEARTS ALIGN, NO CHALLENGE IS TOO GREAT TO OVERCOME. TRUE LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT POWER OR POSITION, IT IS ABOUT PURPOSE AND PEOPLE. IT IS ABOUT LEADING BY EXAMPLE, INSPIRING THROUGH SERVICE, AND CREATING AN ATMOSPHERE WHERE OTHERS FEEL VALUED AND EMPOWERED. AS NELSON MANDELA WISELY SAID, “A LEADER IS LIKE A SHEPHERD. HE STAYS BEHI...

  RT.HON.TEMIDAYO FRIDAY  ESANAFUED SPEAKER 24/25 EDUCATION BEYOND THE CLASSROOM BY RT. HON. TEMIDAYO FRIDAY SPEAKER, ESAN–AFUED FACULTY PARLIAMENT (2024/2025 ACADEMIC SESSION) EDUCATION IS MUCH MORE THAN WHAT HAPPENS WITHIN THE WALLS OF A CLASSROOM. TRUE EDUCATION GOES BEYOND GRADES, EXAMS, AND CERTIFICATES. IT IS ABOUT CHARACTER, UNDERSTANDING, WISDOM, AND THE ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE TO LIFE. AS THE GREAT PHILOSOPHER ARISTOTLE ONCE SAID, “EDUCATING THE MIND WITHOUT EDUCATING THE HEART IS NO EDUCATION AT ALL.” EVERY CLASSROOM LESSON IS ONLY THE BEGINNING; IT IS HOW WE LIVE, LEAD, AND SERVE AFTER LEAVING THAT CLASSROOM THAT DEFINES THE DEPTH OF OUR LEARNING. IN OUR JOURNEY AS STUDENTS, IT IS EASY TO THINK SUCCESS ENDS WITH A CERTIFICATE. BUT TRUE SUCCESS BEGINS WHEN WE TURN KNOWLEDGE INTO IMPACT. THE PROVERB SAYS, “KNOWLEDGE IS LIKE A GARDEN; IF IT IS NOT CULTIVATED, IT CANNOT BE HARVESTED.” EDUCATION IS ONLY COMPLETE WHEN IT PRODUCES WISDOM, EMPATHY, AND PURPOSE. LOOK AROU...

  More Humanity, Less Ego By Rt. Hon. Temidayo Friday Speaker, ESAN–AFUED Faculty Parliament (2024/2025 Academic Session) In a world where everyone wants to be right, few truly want to understand. Where everyone seeks recognition, few genuinely seek connection. Yet, the strength of any community or leadership lies not in ego or titles, but in humanity and humility. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” True leadership is not about how many people salute you, but how many hearts you touch through your actions. Too often, we wear titles like crowns but forget that leadership is service, not showmanship. A leader’s greatness is not measured by authority but by the ability to bring people together in peace, understanding, and respect. Take, for example, Nelson Mandela, who chose forgiveness over revenge even after 27 years in prison. His humility didn’t make him weak, it made him powerful enough to unite a divided nat...
