Celestine Achi, a leading voice in artificial intelligence education and communications strategy, has been conferred with the title of Doctoral Fellow (Dr. FAIMFIN) by the Artificial Intelligence Management & Finance Institute (AIMFIN).
“This honour is not just a recognition of past work—it is a call to do more. I am deeply committed to democratising AI knowledge, especially among Africa’s youth,” said Achi.
The conferment took place during AIMFIN’s Executive Leadership Summit, which brought together scholars, innovators, and AI professionals from across Africa. The recognition highlights Achi’s role in advancing the use of AI in business, finance, and management on the continent.
In a key moment during the ceremony, Achi received his certificate from Tokunbo Akeredolu-Ale, Director of Academics at AIMFIN, while Constantine Imafidontongo, Vice President of AIMFIN, was present.
Following the announcement, Achi unveiled a new plan to launch a free AI education platform for children and a continent-wide AI capacity-building programme for secondary schools. The initiative, titled A Father’s Gift to the African Child, will focus on equipping young people with digital skills for the future.
Achi is the founder of Cihan Media Communications and Cihan Digital Academy. He is also the author of AI-Powered PR: The Essential Guide for Communications Leaders to Master Artificial Intelligence, which is being adopted by media and communications institutions across Africa.
