From the Founder/President
TCM-University
Christian Gideon Musa founded TCM-University (The Common Man University) originally known as TCM-Institute. He is a firm believer in the transformative power of knowledge gained from the many learning opportunities life presents and makes accessible to us via people's varied endeavors.
​
This dream came about because of his love for human potential and social advancement. The distinctiveness of his vision for TCM-University is in its utilization of a world-class, yet distinctive, systemic approach to learning for the general public that is more approachable and uncomplicated, serving as a cutting edge for the many cultures and people groups across the globe (namely, Africa and Nigeria).
In addition to providing assistantships by making educational funds available (i.e., providing free education through scholarship funding), TCM-University aims to give hope not only to the Common people who exist in the world today, but also to the less privileged, the physically challenged, and most African nations due to the issue of poverty that plagues the various communities across Africa today.
​
"With this initiative, which aims to use strategies like setting up local learning centers and/or placing learning facilities in even the most remote places, and to also partner with the prestigious institution through online platforms, and other means as possible to promote diverse learning, sharing of resource and ideas, it is in my goodwill to provide and make knowledge and learning tools available within the reach of every Man/Woman as much as it is possible."
​
I employ everyone who reading this to help me realize this dream.
Thank you.
Christian Gideon Musa
Founder & President TCM-University
