"It is exactly a year today, 4th March, 2012 that Africa International University (formerly Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology) was officially awarded a charter to be a fully fledged university in Kenya by the President of Kenya, Honorable Mwai Kibaki. A thanksgiving service was organized by the authorities of the university to conclude the one week-long maiden anniversary. During the thanksgiving service, the authorities of AIU led by its Chancellor, Professor Wilson Omolokoli and its Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Douglas Carew named and dedicated the university’s world-class academic building to the memory of late Dr. Tokunboh Adeyemo. Dr. Adeyemo went to be with the Lord on March 18, 2010. Until his death, Adeyemo was one of the Founding Fathers and the first Chancellor of Africa".
This special dedication concluded a week of festivities on the AIU campus. This special Sunday Service was a real celebration of it's International Flavor. It included special food presentations by students representing their local African cuisine.
