Participants were taken through leadership sessions, employability, project management and brand building among others.
The five day competition which ended on Saturday January 13 2013, saw Chineye Okore-Onu, a level 200 business administration student of RADFORD UNIVERSITY COLLEGE emerging as miss congeniality.
Two other award winners also of the university, Paul Damalie, a level 300 business administration student emerged as the “most likely future president”, while Joyce Chachu, a level 200 Graphic Design student was crowned, “the iron lady” of the competition.
