"Adiel Akplogan has selflessly worked to establish AfriNIC and worked
tirelessly to grow the membership, improve use of number resources and built
an active technical community in Africa. This has resulted in the growth of
a more robust Internet in Africa and developed an active technical community
of LIRs developing policies appropriate for the region. This has enabled
development of numerous applications throughout  Africa impacting education,
health and commerce in a notable way" said Nii Quaynor, Convener of AfNOG
