DCTC Alumni Advisory Board

President

My most memorable moment as a DCTC student was…
Getting support to stay in college from my first instructor at DCTC when I needed it the most. It was a point in my life and career when I had to make one of the most difficult, and yet right, decisions. Drop out of college or stay in college while my family and I would possibly become homeless. The help and support from this instructor not only helped me stay in college, but also guided me through to graduation and beyond.
My family would describe me as…
A great dad, hardworking, studious, and loves helping other people succeed.
If I were stranded on a deserted island, the three people I would want along are…
George Weah, President of Liberia (The world will come out to find him and this will increase our chances of surviving out there.)
Col UG Simon, my best friend who is a military commanding officer in the Nigerian Army. (His military skills and survivor experiences will keep us alive, get us food, and make our location visible to rescue personnel. He will do all he can to keep me alive.)
Mary Kumbah Tambah, my Mom (She will provide me the courage to live. She has been through worse situations and survived.)
