OPINION BY DAN OKEREKE: 20 years after, alumni community rallies support for AUN schools’ improvement | TheCable
Atiku’s varsity sacks 400 staffAn adage says the only reward for success is a hunger for more success. Twenty years after their establishment and currently rated among the five best colleges in Nigeria, the American University of Nigeria schools have turned this adage into a song.
One of his most accomplished legacies and enduring investments in creating opportunities for youths in Nigeria, the AUN schools have in the last twenty years provided quality education and sound moral upbringing to young Nigerians and Africans, irrespective of background. “I have always held the unwavering conviction that education is the key to success in life and must be accorded top priority at all levels,” Atiku Abubakar said at the event.
The successful implementation of the first phase of the SIP has already positioned the AUN schools at the pinnacle of the Nigerian school system, exactly where it aimed to be. The first phase aimed to expand infrastructural capacity, add a creative component to the learning and growth experience, and foster significant social contacts. It involved improvement in the schools’ physical infrastructure – all school buildings have been refurbished and repainted, and spaces remodelled.
The SIP was initiated to enhance the teaching and learning environments within the schools and expand the pool of individuals with access to high-quality educational opportunities. The enthusiastic support of the schools’ alumni, financial and moral, affirms the aptness of the management’s inclusion strategy and confirms Atiku Abubakar’s assertion at the event, that education is a collective responsibility of everyone in the community.
