Message from the Chancellor

In many parts of our world, education has been the privilege of an exclusive few. It has been confined to institutional campuses with very limited intake in comparison to the populations they serve.

Using the Distance Learning approach, Destiny University (DU) is tapping into the adult learning approach to education. It means, taking learning to the learners in their social and vocational contexts. It is no longer necessary for them to relocate to fixed locations, and be separated from family and jobs. The Distance Learning approach makes it easier for people in far away locations to gain access to quality education. This education can be achieved at their own pace, and within their financial means. Teachers, agriculturists and others working in rural areas would therefore not be at an educational disadvantage when it comes to having ready access to available courses in areas of interest.

Through the academic mentor program, professors in existing urban/city institutions of higher education are assigned to each student. Effort is made by both the student and mentor to develop a one on one relationship that enables the student to receive quality guidance through mail, telephone, and internet.

DU is among pioneers in Africa using the self-directed adult learning style to develop academic potential in students enrolled in the program. DU also brings hope to many who would otherwise have been denied their rightful access to higher education because of socio-economic limitations. The University has the goal of facilitating the educational journey to high academic achievement for as many as are willing to avail themselves for this priceless opportunity.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to this model of delivery at a time when the whole world is searching for innovative ways to develop human potential for socio- economic transformation and development of the nations of our world.

Sincerely,
Seth Kofi Anyomi, (Ed.D.)
Chancellor, Destiny University
