In Memoriam |
 This website and the Chiehika Aliche Memorial Early Education Center (CAMEEC) are designed in memory of my late father, Jonah Chiehika Aliche (1909-1984). My dad did not have the benefit of formal education but he understood the transformative power of education. So, he attended night school and learnt to sign his name. More importantly, in small but significant ways, even in the midst of poverty, he helped others acquire formal education, including his own children. His greatest joy, before his death, was in seeing me off to college, the first by anyone in his family, including his wife’s side of the family. I cannot think of anything better to bequeath to posterity in his memory than to promote access to early childhood education for millions of African children who lack it!
– Azubike Aliche, Director, CAMEEC. Dedication
This website is dedicated to Mr. Michael Uleanya, a director of CAMEEC. Mr. Uleanya, who studied at the University of Ibadan and retired from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, is both a witness and beneficiary of my father’s modest efforts at encouraging others to acquire formal education. He, in turn, supported my education at every level and, even, mentored and fostered me while I studied at the Federal College of Education and, later, at the University of Lagos, from 1982 to 1989. If fact, I could not have gone to Lagos, from rural Osusu in Abia State, hundreds of miles away, to school if Mr. Uleanya had not lived and worked in Lagos!
