““Ekene Otugeme is a man of wisdom, deep faith, and quiet influence. From a young age, he has stood out for his maturity, God-fearing nature, and the way he lives as a mirror for others to grow. His life journey—marked by personal losses and unwavering faith—has shaped him into a wellspring of wisdom and quiet strength. That 'procrastination is the assassination of one's destiny' — a quote of his I've held onto for over 20 years. His humility, peace-loving nature, and unwavering support make him not just an inspiration — but a dependable, trustworthy friend and leader.””

““Ekene Otugeme has been someone I really admire and wishes to be like as I grow in Life. Some impact directly and some indirectly, but he has not shifted course as to who he is. A kind and compassionate leader that majors on the Love of God—from a standpoint of personal relationship with God—actively making young people discover themselves in God and in this Life. A leader that believes Excellence mixed with knowing God is an inexcusable attribute every young adult should have.””

““Sir Ekene Otugeme has been a positive impact in my life by first modeling how one can inspire others simply by living with effort, consciousness, and intentionality. That was what initially drew me to him. I remember meeting him and saying I'd like him to be my mentor and also to pray over me. One major inflection point was when we attended Daystar Christian Center's Excellence in Leadership Conference. Sir Ekene exposed me to that world of Dr. Sam Adeyemi and his teachings, which have since gone on to deeply influence my approach to life.””

““I was unsure of the actual course of study for the career I wanted as an artist. EKENE Saw me during the JAMB Registration period and urged me to speak with my fine art teacher for clarity, letting me know that fine art was the course of study I needed. I would have neglected my life calling as an ANIMATOR If Ekene didn't share the clarity I needed. Today I'm humbly one of the most decorated Digital artists in Nigeria and I'm very close to my desired career destination which is starting my own internationally recognised Animation Studios.””

““Ekene is a go-getter and he never sees obstacles. He always tries to find a way out. And he doesn't settle for less. He also has an excellent spirit. Everything must be excellent. I have learnt a lot from him. His leadership skills are top-notch. He trusted me with StrikingCVs and gave me tips to handle things on my own, which was really great of him as a leader.””
