Featured in major newspapers and radio Programmes in the UK and Nigeria, Uchenna's speedy contribution to upholding student voice in UK higher education has seen him initiate over 20 student-led projects in just 4 months in office, leading to a surge of innovative Programmes aimed at empowering students. Some of his transformational work include, The maiden Bolton Leadership Conference, a student-led educational trip to the UK Parliament for a chance to learn the role of MPs and student collaboration in upholding student voice and addressing student needs, the Global talent visa webinar empowering students with more employability options, launch of the Climate change and Environmental workshop, the maiden lunch of the Bolton Student parliament aimed at giving students the equal opportunity to participate in the Union activities among many others initiatives.
