Standing once again on the campus where Africa鈥檚 first 鈥渄evelopment university鈥� was envisioned, the President of the 黑料网 (AUN), Professor Dewayne Frazier, recently visited the 黑料网 University (AU) in Washington, D.C. The visit was both symbolic and strategic, reaffirming AUN鈥檚 deep commitment to its founding mission: Education for Development.
The idea of AUN was conceived in 2003 through the visionary leadership of His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President of Nigeria. With the collaboration of key AU leaders鈥攎ost notably the late Professor Robert Pastor and Dr. Louis Goodman鈥攖he vision was transformed into reality. Their dedication laid the groundwork for what has grown into one of Africa鈥檚 leading development-focused institutions.
From its conceptual roots in Washington, D.C., AUN has evolved into a dynamic university known for its innovative approach to education, student-centered learning, and community impact. Professor Frazier鈥檚 return to AU symbolized more than a courtesy visit; it honored the legacy of collaboration and reaffirmed shared values between both institutions.
As AUN celebrates over two decades of academic excellence and social impact, it remains steadfast in its mission to foster leadership, entrepreneurship, and service. The visit to AU not only reflected on the university鈥檚 origins but also renewed its commitment to transformative development and global educational partnerships.
