is a unique institution of higher learning that helps the financially handicapped individuals to achieve their educational and career dreams. Through its unique members of staff, the university was able to understand my plight in pursuing a degree program. They restored my hope and assured me of a better life! This was actually manifested in their affection, affability, and understanding throughout the period of my degree course. AIU has been very fascinating, with well coordinated programs and a beautiful web site.

My experience at AIU has transformed my personal life, with all those researches made; I have been playing a leading role in the disseminating of knowledge in my department with a very broad knowledge in computer science. I have greater skills of coordinating, motivating, directing and leading my department as the head. Academically I have improved tremendously with the boldness of presenting my academic qualification anywhere and being able to defend it anytime. Immediately I started the degree program in March this year, I was appointed as an Acting Head of Business Information Technology department of my college. And having seen my performance through my Transcript, I became the HOD with financial benefits. Economically this experience has turned things around positively in my family. Forever I will remain grateful to AIU!

I believe this is just the beginning. Once the relationship between AIU and I has been rooted, I will pursue my academic dream up to the Doctoral degree. I will gladly become part of the AIU Academic Regional Council, promoting the good image of the university and linking as many that are less fortunate but willing to become somebody by furthering their education with the University for assistance.

Last but not the least, I acknowledge my commitment as an AIU alumni; ready to uphold the Declaration of Human Rights in my field of study and willing to form part of the philosophy of the University and its members.

Thank you.
