Ndị ndu ụmụ akwụkwọ n'oge Agha Obodo Naịjirịa 
In 1966, he was elected the President of the Students Union Government, University of Nigeria, Nsukka and at the same time the Vice President of National Union of Nigerian Students. In 1967, he was elected the  President of  Eastern Nigerian Students Union (ENSU). On May 30, 1967, Lt. Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu declared the Eastern Region independent of Nigeria and known as the Democratic Republic of Biafra. As soon as Ojukwu declared Biafra, the Students’ Union of the UNN, led by its president, Emeka Enejere, formed the National Union of Biafran Students (NUBS), breaking away from the National Union of Nigerian Students (NUNS). The Nigerian Civil War began on July 6, 1967. Enejere became the President of  the National Union of Biafran Students (NUBS) and led NUBS delegation to the United States, Canada and Western Germany.
Enejere's tenure as President of the National Union of Biafran Students involved many campaigns to different Agencies and Foundations and his team succeeded in obtaining relief materials for Biafra, especially from religious organizations like the World Council of Churches.  The delegation addressed a catalogue of issues principally concerned with the state of Biafra, the issue of economic blockade, the power of student opinion, the refugee situation, the suffering in refugee camps, and the attendant health problem. To align themselves with members of the then Biafran Republic at home, Enejere and his group wore what The New York Times described as "shabby and ill-fitting clothes". Furthermore, they spoke in quiet voices to demonstrate the mood of the situation but, as The New York Times reported, "their passionate devotion to Biafra was undiminished." 
The gains made by this delegation were unprecedented. Biafran students studying abroad formed chapters of the NUBS. The NUBS branches in Boston, New York, United Kingdom and Belgium were especially successful in communicating the Biafran point of view to the host nationals. NUBS branches throughout the world engaged in fund raising for Biafra. The typical effort in this wise was the Biafran student standing under the snow, cup in hand and shouting, ‘drop something for the children of Biafra’. The European branches of the NUBS paid for a delegation of the home students to visit North America and Europe. The delegation covered Canada and America and visited forty-five cities in Germany spreading the hope of Biafra.  The Americans, and members of other countries resident in America, had the opportunity of hearing the Biafran case first hand, and even seeing the people involved in the civil war. Enejere's delegation was given prominence in the paper. One of the publications, "Five Biafrans seek Aid of U.S. Students" was published in The New York Times of December 18, 1968.
The Biafran students criticized the way relief materials were being handled and even tried to organize their own special relief efforts. Furthermore, the NUBS delegation to Europe and America submitted a report that gave a sharp picture suggesting that the Biafran Government were not doing very well in its diplomatic mission. The report specifically fingered the diplomatic effort in North America as not yielding dividends. It recommended the diversification of diplomatic missions to include east European countries. This report irked some Biafran civil servants who were involved in the North American mission. They faced the students and the passport of the President of NUBS and head of the student delegation abroad, Mr. Enejere, was seized. In a latter development, the Biafran Security Organization detained Mr. Enejere and his Vice President. They were later released.
In 1970, at the end of the war, Enejere mobilized National Union of Nigerian students to support and catalyze the re-opening of Institutions of Higher Learning in the former Eastern Region.
