Former Super Eagles striker doing well as mental health nursing student in UK university

FORMER Super Eagles striker Benedict Akwuegbu has been listed by Anglia Ruskin University in the UK as being among its top achievers in recognition of the work he has put in as part of his mental health nurse degree course.

Akwuegbu, affectionately called the Austrian Bomber by his fans, enrolled in the university two years ago. He studied health social care in his first year before switching to his current mental health nursing course.

Having completed the 2021/2022 trimester, Akwuegbu was highlighted as one of the best performers in the university. Recognising the hard work he has put in, the university wrote to Akwuegbu, saying his hard work he put in made him highly employable at the moment.

Their letter read:  “Congratulations on your excellent achievement over the 2021/22 first trimester, which has led you to being highlighted as either a top achiever or employability award winner. We would want to invite you to join us and fellow members of the faculty to our healthcare and post-graduate schools award evening, which takes place on Wednesday 9th March at 5pm.”
