Describing the BOVAS boss as a source of inspiration, the Vice Chancellor said the “University will continue its mission to cultivate the next generation of impactful leaders and entrepreneurs, by striving to enhance the learning environment for the students and providing them with the best possible resources” .
She added that ‘the University envisions a future where our graduates are equipped not only with theoretical knowledge but also with practical skills and access to state-of-the-art facilities that foster innovation and collaboration’.
The Vice Chancellor added that the university believes that the visionary leadership of Mrs Samson extends beyond the realm of business and her potential to contribute to the development of future leaders is immense.
In her lecture, she emphasized the need to have the right values when doing business, as ‘values are the roots of a sustainable business’, stating that the three core values of her company are integrity, service, and excellence, which she would recommend to any entrepreneur.
Mrs. Victoria Samson appreciated the University for the honour, and averred that the theme for the entrepreneurship day speaks directly to the future of the students, economy of the nation, our environment and the nation at large.
Mama BOVAS, as she is fondly called, encouraged the students to get their focus right. In her words, ‘whatever you do, get your focus right first, stop chasing too many birds at once, especially when you begin a startup.’
