For 16 long years after earning his degree from the Abia State University, Uturu, in 2010, Mr. Alexander Nwosu, a Person Living with Disability (PWD), searched for jobs and hopefully held firmly to one belief: that someday he would secure a job and life would smile on him.
Despite living with a deformity in one of his legs, Nwosu who hails from Umuda Isingwu, Ohuhu Clan of Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State, refused to surrender to despair. Rather than become dependent on charity, he sustained himself by raising and selling seedlings of different plants while searching for meaningful employment.
That long-awaited opportunity finally came in 2025 when the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU), advertised for vacancies. Like many hopeful applicants, Nwosu
applied and was eventually offered employment as an Administrative Assistant Officer in February 2026.
