The first day I steped into this school, I was very impressed with the level of development that has taken place here. I was up for a challenge. I started to write because writting is one of my numerous hobbies. I wrote about my impressions about the school. I was really full of energy.
On the last day of orientation, we were asked to sign up for any club of our choice. I need not think of what club to join first because the newspaper club was there.
well if you're ambitous like me, curious and full of energy, interested in learning about hot topics of the day and investigating the different sides of an issue, think of joining our newspaper club, also known as the Desert Rose.

I know some one wondering about why we chose the word Desert Rose as our newspaper.
The Desert Rose, botanically known as Adenium Obesum, is an amazing plant that is specially adapted to live in this part of Africa.
It has a fleshy trunk that stores water for long periods, thus allowing the plant to thrive in even the most arid conditions.
We chose the name because the plant reminds us of our school as it relects the location, foundation, students and vision of the school.
Location: Like The Desert Rose, Abti-American University of Nigeria rises out of the sweeping plains of the savanna - full of life, resilience, and enduring beauty.
Vision: The branches symbolizes the vision of the school - multi-faceted, reaching upward and outward.
Students: The flower symbolizes the students of the school - beautiful and bright, clearly the best feature!
Foundation: The base symbolizes the foundation of the school - deeply rooted, providing strenght and support.
Let me inform you that we have the first issue of our campus newspaper already published as at March 1st, 2006. It is available on this web page.
