On Saturday, June 8, 2019,
African Accents International Institute at its campus situated at Timbo area,
along the Makeni-Kabala Highway in the Bombali District, Northern Province of
Sierra Leone has staged its first ever matriculation and graduation ceremony
for its students, since the college was established in 2016.
The day’s doubled packed
ceremony all started with a match past from the central business area of Makeni
City around the clock tower to the institute’s campus at Timbo area, along the
Makeni-Kabala Highway where the occasion was called to order by the Deputy
Registrar Mr. Foday Kargbo, who introduced the chairman of the occasion Mr.
Alex Kapotho Kamara, who also doubled as the Registrar of the institute.
In his opening statement the
chairman of the ceremony gave a brief background of the institute, citing that
the journey of establishing the institute all started in 2016 with few
computers available at the institute when the institution was only a computer
training institute and because of the compelling desire from students and
parents on the Staff, the Proprietor of the institute: Mr. Alpha Ibrahim Barrie
thought it wise to expand their services at the institution and included a
variety of vocational and professional courses with corresponding departments
such as: Mass Communication, Community Development Studies, Computer Science
department and more to help salvage the mass request from the general public
for the creation of a wider room for some vocational and professional courses.
Representatives from the
Islamic Council, the Sierra Leone Teachers Union Bombali District, the Free and
Quality Education North, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary School Education
Bombali District and others were present at the day’s event.
All of which addressed the 20
Graduates and 45 Matriculates to be gainfully engaged as they go into the
universe to serve the public with what they have learnt and to focus on the
various courses they have applied for to study at the institute respectively.
James Mario Tarawalie among
other Founding Members of the institute, Lecturers and Stakeholders commended
all those that have in one way or the other supported the institution to grow
to its current height.
They concluded their speeches
with a clarion call for support from the Government, and all and sundry that
may wish to contribute to nation building to support the African Accents
International Institute.
Certificates were later
distributed to all of the 20 Graduates who graduated from various courses they
have studied at the institute and the rest of the 45 Matriculates were orderly
assembled to sign the college’s registrar, a process that was spearheaded by
the Deputy Registrar of the college Mr. Foday Kargbo under the directives of
the Registrar Mr. Alex Kapotho Kamara recording a total number of 317 Students
that have enrolled at the three years old institution since it was established.
