What our Alumni are saying about Higher Education

Alumni Spotlight: DAAD Alumnus and a former DAAD climapAfrica

Meet Dr. Olasunkanmi Habeeb Okunola

My outlook on higher education is grounded in the belief that it should serve as a dynamic platform for fostering global collaboration, critical thinking, and innovation. I see higher education as a catalyst for addressing global challenges, especially in areas like climate change, disaster risk reduction, and sustainability.

Meet: Prof. Emelia Oppong Bekoe

Higher education plays a crucial role in the development of any society, and I anticipate a future where it will be the foremost priority in our society. We must make conscientious efforts to harness its full potential for the benefit of Africa.
