Tuesday, 02 April 2024 11:45 AM

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / April 2, 2024 / Daniel Walter Hill is a principled professional and a paragon of dedication and resolve. A man whose journey has been carved by his steadfast spirit, unwavering commitment, and a sprinkle of Divine Providence.

Hill, the founding pillar of Tansian University in Nigeria, had a significant role in its establishment and served as its first Chancellor. Hill's contribution to education and philanthropy has etched his name into the sands of history while impacting countless lives across the world.

The Genesis of Tansian University

​Tansian University's development started with Hill's initiative, which dates back to the early 1990s. His relentless efforts in fundraising from different sources, including Muslims, Anglicans, and even Catholics, significantly contributed to the building of learning institutions that hosted students ranging from nursery school learners to high school graduates.

​Therefore, the idea of Tansian University was ideal to bring up a generation with integrity and eradicate corruption in Nigeria. For this to happen, Hill strongly advocated that each student should take some of the courses to be equipped with moral culture, which is a clear sign of his commendable commitment towards such a cause.

As the Nigerian Government opened its doors to private universities, an independent legal trust was set up to apply for and establish university ownership, and despite encountering several roadblocks, including demands for bribes, Hill and his team's integrity and unflinching resolve led to the final acquisition of the licenses for Tansian University.

First Chancellor of Tansian University

As the first Chancellor, Daniel Hill's visionary leadership was the guiding force steering Tansian University's path of growth and development. His staunch commitment to education and the values he held dear - integrity and compassion - made him the beacon that shaped the university's ethos.

Leaving a Legacy through Philanthropy

Undoubtedly, Hill's philanthropic ventures have left a profound and lasting impact. Inspired by Mother Teresa, he founded Gratia International, a charity committed to restoring dignity to people of all backgrounds. Hill's efforts in securing funding for Tansian University and associated schools in Nigeria through his well-established network of benefactors, including giants like FedEx and wealthy private individuals, brought his vision to fruition.

Hill has received much praise and affiliations during his career due to his selfless service and passion for philanthropy. He is an Honorary Fellow of Greyfriars Oxford University. The knighthoods of the Order Danilo and Sovereign Military Order Malta reflect significant societal achievements that he has made.
