 Prof. Manny Aniebonam, executive president, AfriHUB said that “our main focus is to bring about change in Nigeria… bring about digital access starting from the tertiary institutions; our universities all over the country, whereby our major concern is that university students are undergoing education without adequate infrastructure, without all the prepared equipment that their peers around the globe already have access to for over 25 years”

“So AfriHUB was started to address those issues and allow our students and university community to have access to digital resources around the globe through the internet and then, on a higher level eventually, they will be able to do everything that they should do within the confines of the environment”.
