Autorenporträt
David Oyebamiji Akanji was born in the village of Bode in 1955 and lost his sight at the tender age of five. Despite this challenge, he embarked on his educational journey, commencing his primary schooling at the age of 10. By 1966, he had successfully completed his primary education. The following year, in 1967, he enrolled at the Osodi Vocational Training Center for the Blind, where he specialized in telecommunications. Completing his training as a telephone operator in 1968, he also received advanced instruction in braille.In 1969, Akanji furthered his education at the IWO Catholic Secondary Modern School, where he underwent training as a typist, concluding his studies in 1970. His academic pursuits continued as he entered Ibadan Christ Apostolic Grammar School in 1971, graduating in 1975. His exceptional academic performance earned him a scholarship from the Oyo State Government in 1981 to pursue further studies in the United States of America. Subsequently, he was admitted to Arkansas Enterprises for the Blind (now known as International Lion Services for the Blind), where he spent two semesters. Transitioning to Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1982, he completed his degree in three years, distinguished by his membership in prestigious academic societies.In 1986, Akanji commenced his master's degree program at Howard University, successfully completing it in three semesters instead of the usual four. His academic excellence garnered further recognition when he pursued his PhD in Special Education Administration at Gallaudet University in 1988, culminating in its completion in 2008.
