Achievers University, Owo, was conceived by a group of Nigerians who have a vision to establish a world-class University. I was privileged to be appointed as a member of the Planning and Implementation Committee in 2004.  All through the period of three years of my service in the Committee, it was clearly evident from the seriousness and the commitment of the promoters that a well-focused University would emerge. 

The pioneer students, numbering 149, resumed for the first semester of 2007/2008 Academic Session on 7th April, 2008.  Since then, a lot has been accomplished at Achievers University in terms of quality of tuition and infrastructural development.  No doubt, a number of challenges confronted us as pioneer management; it is gratifying to note that within 100 days of operation, all academic and frontline officers had been properly accommodated.
