A good institution

The University of Benin is a stellar institution that gathers great minds from all backgrounds and fields of life. What resonates with me the most about my alma mater is that the environment spurs learning and promotes healthy competition among students. I didn’t like the incessant strikes while I was a student. They distorted academic activities and made learning rushed after it ended. I recommend UNIBEN as it is an environment that is safe, non-discriminatory and fosters learning.

CIMA-My Dream

It was a dream come true, I wanted to become a CIMA member which I achieved in 2015, the thing I like their support very user friendly website, the thing I dislike is the Merger with AICPA, as it seems like for most members it is not a merger but a take over. All in all I am happy to be a member in this Esteem Management Accountancy body.
