EEE is totally ok, if you like ICT, you should go into telecom. CEE is an alternative.

You might also wanna ask your dad why he really wants ABE (Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering).


You said you are good with chemistry, i hope you're good with maths too cos that's what engineering is mostly all about (at least for universities).

All Engineering disciplines are all relevant and lucrative, that's one of the reasons why engineering is wonderful.

electrical / electronics engr. is a broad course. an elect elect can work almost everywhere depending on the area of the field they specialized on. since you love ict I prefer you go for electronics there you can reach telecom. all aras of elect elect contain money it just require your brain to do the work. you can also go for chemical engr. since you know chem. much it also needs your brain, you can work in cements factories, refineries, petrolchem. industries and many more, in fact chem. engrs are very flexible they are employed sharp sharp as long as you know it very well. I want to go for that but it was not yet accredited in the school I applied for so I went for elect elect engr. beccause I also like it. go for the one you know best

goodluck friend.
