Imoro as affectionately called, is no other person than the brain behind the success story of the current Infinite Research Institute.

Life didn’t end there, he obtained his WASSCE certificate in 2013 and had admission to University for Development studies, there he was pursuing Integrated Community Development, with the help of the Almighty, hard work, commitment, dedication and despite the leadership role he was occupying as course rep, that didn’t deter him from graduating with distinction or simply put First class in Diploma in Integrated Community Development in 2016.
I believed the assertion education never ends when I heard he didn’t take a hiatus from the strenuous academic endeavors but went ahead to pursue B.A in Social and Development Administration again at University for Development Studies and currently to graduate in the coming year (2019).

HOW COME IMORO RESEARCH INSTITUTE?
Haha I knew it will get to that, society as we see is full of challenges especially in our parts of the world, in fact my whole stay on campus have been about my books and serving my quest to serve the student populace. Somewhere along the line I had the inner urge to contribute to what my indefatigable predecessors have done so I started my way of becoming the local NUGS President.
Politics as usual should be seen as a do or die affair but the quest to contribute and serve to make our world a better place however things didn’t go as plan, despite the love and support the lot didn’t fall on me.
Nonetheless politics or the political institution is an aspect of the larger social institution, so I was there one day after delivering my concession speech to my supporters or those who shared the same vision with me.
In fact, the hardest thing was not me losing the election but the general disappointment on the faces of those who rallied behind me in my quest for this noble political office. Then through whatever unimaginable thought that crossed my mind through the grace of the Almighty I felt why don’t we put smiles on the faces of this disappointed faces of my supporters by starting something like an institute or an organization where we can still channel our vision to work.
I wanted to maintain the team spirit and the confidence they had in me that’s why we came up with IMORO RESEARCH INSTITUTE to make “team imoro” as affectionately known continue.
WHY THE CHANGE OF NAME?
Change is something that was the world evolves have become constant or what most say there is nothing constant.
You see, we had the dream of where we can share equal values, views and have equal access, but as the name suggested IMORO RESEARCH INSTITUTE presuppose or was misunderstood by many as more or less about me, meanwhile as started earlier the original conception was to unite all under one umbrella, an umbrella where those that shared the vision can be part and parcel of, and be able to perpetuate this vision even when our bones are rotten and consequently we had INFINITE RESEACH INSTITUTE and as the name suggests it’s not only for our general but successive generations to come hence the name.
