“…From having to deal with financial challenges, to difficult academic semesters and my role in student leadership as President of the Accounting Students Association, all I can say is my life on the university campus has been one of great memories. Thanks Be To God!

My stock of memories have been obtained from the great friends that I made on campus, the mentors who have held my hands up the hill, lecturers who became role models, sponsors who were God-sent, family members who were my top fans and cheers leaders. I can’t thank you all any better. God bless you…”
