1) Prof Barth Nnaji, Born in Enugu State, graduated from St. Johns University, New York, the USA with a Bachelor of Science in Physics. He later attended the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University with his Masters and Ph.D. in Engineering. He has also received a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) post-doctoral degree in artificial intelligence and robotics. As a writer, he focused on three main topics: computerized architecture, robotics, and information technology. His insights into the theory that many of the objects we operate have a geometrical structure are derivable from his theoretical attempts at constructing the term geometric logic. He is also known as one of the innovators of the E-design concept, where product construction engineers would work together from different locations to plan, create and test the same product using the software and the website / worldwide.

Nnaji is the first black man in American history to be bestowed with the title of Distinguished Professor of Engineering, the first African to become Director of the United States National Science Foundation-endowed Centre for Scientific Excellence, the first Nigerian to win the Baker Distinguished Research Award which is considered the equivalent of the Nobel prize in Industrial Engineering, the first African to write a book which was declared the best book in manufacturing engineering of the year throughout the world, the first Nigerian to be honoured by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund as the African Scientist of the Year, the first Blackman to graduate as the best student of the year at St John’s University in New York which was then 120 years old, the first minister to come from Nkanuland in Enugu State, the first indigene of Enugu State to win the Nigerian National Order of Merit which is Nigeria’s highest honour for intellectual and artistic achievement, the first Nigerian to build a power plant, and the first minister to raise electricity generation in Nigeria to almost 5,000 megawatts and all of it was successfully put on the national grid, except some 300MW which served as spinning reserve, and so ensured unprecedented power supply across the country in 2012.

So why did Kanu refuse the Igbo states offer on the grounds that they must give him the Niger Delta as well?

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/07/rejected-biafra-5-igbo-states-nnamdi-kanu/

And no, the South East does not produce oil, unless you mean palm oil.

Ondo state actually produces more oil than the entire south-east as does Lagos.

Alexander Obiefoka Enukora Animalu (born 28 August 1938) is a Nigerian academic, who is Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.

He holds a BSc (London), M.A. (Cantab.) and Ph.D. (Ibadan), FAS, NNOM, IOM

A pioneer of solar energy in Nigeria, Animals is a physicist of international repute, member of the highest advisory body on Science and Technology to the Nigerian government, Honorary Presidential Advisory Council on Science and Technology (2001–03), and former Director National Mathematical Centre, Abuja.

The only African member to date of the advisory board of the Euro-Journal Physica(B) and the only African member of the editorial board of the Hadronic Journal, he is also the founding editor of the Nigerian Journal of Solar Energy and one of the pioneering editors of the Bulletin of the Nigerian Institute of Physics. Foundation President of the Solar Energy Society of Nigeria, foundation editor, Nigerian Journal of Solar Energy, foundation member, United States Energy Research and Development Administration and Foundation member and former president of the Nigerian Academy of Science, Animals is author of 28 books in both the sciences and the humanities, including the famous Intermediate Quantum Theory of Crystalline Solids and biographies of Rt. Hon. Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Professor Chike Obi, Professor Kenneth Dike, Professor Samuel Okoye, Professor James Ezeilo, Professor Chukwuedu Nwokolo, Professor Cyril Onwumechili among others.

It was this College Scholarship that saw him through the University of Cambridge in the UK between October 1962 and December 1965, when he obtained the M.A. (Cantab) and Ph.D. (Maths) in Theoretical Solid State Physics. The high quality of his Ph.D. thesis was attested to when the main results were published in Philosophical Magazine in 1965 and included in W. A. Harrison's book Pseudopotentials in the Theory of Metals. The book contained the model potential tables that were in such high demand by researchers in the field of metal physics and semiconductor electronics that the Ph.D. thesis work as published in Philosophical Magazine became by 1983 a citation classic, having been cited more than 729 times between 1965 and 2001.[3] He is the only African in Physics to have earned such a record of citations, his paper being the best among the best twelve cited papers from the University of Cambridge in fifty years (1930–80). It is of interest to note that four of these twelve most cited works from Cambridge have subsequently won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Dr Kenny Acholuno

Quadruple patent holder, Dr. Kenny Acholonu, has called on regulatory agencies and players in the Nigerian scientific community covering medical, pharmaceutical, and most importantly nutritional products to ensure recognition and protection of intellectual property rights and thereby encourage innovation
He also commended regulatory agencies pushing for enhanced utilization of patented micronutrient formulations.

Acholonu is the sole Nigerian patent holder for the design and technology of Micronutrient Powder essential for providing 15 micronutrients as a vehicle for improving the nutritional value of all semi-solid foods consumed at home.
He also holds three US patents in the organic synthesis of monomers.
Acholonu stated that giving due recognition and compensation for patents would spur even more scientific innovations in Nigeria, increase productive intellectual capital, creation of high-wage jobs and high-value products.
Consequently, the promotion of sciences, engineering, technology, and mathematics (STEM) leads to increased patent applications which is now a measure of industrial competitiveness.


Patents are globally recognized as a government authority or license conferring a right or title for a set period, especially the sole right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention.
The World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) keeps a count of patent applications worldwide recognized as an index of innovation and productivity. China led in 2019 with 1, 400, 661 applications or 43.4 percent of the global total, the United States filed 621,453 or 19.3 percent and Japan filed 307, 699, or 9.6 percent.
Acholonu said it is, therefore, imperative that countries like Nigeria should do more to recognize the few patent holders they have and to encourage more patent applications to compete in the global economy that is now driven by more knowledge capital and less financial capital.


Acholonu is the Chief Innovation Officer (CIO) of Micronutrient Laboratories Limited and founder of Bio-Organics Nutrient Systems Ltd 1991-2015.
He earlier worked as a director at Hoffman La Roche in Nigeria and with the Stamford Research Laboratory, a division of American Cyanamid Corporation in the United States.
He has over 40 years of academic knowledge application to various industries with special emphasis on micronutrient designs and formulation both in the food and beverage industry, animal health and nutrition industry, also the pharmaceutical industry.
Federal and state governments are working strenuously to ensure that Nigeria develops capacity in various areas relating to malnutrition through food fortification in the wake of support by global financial institutions such as the World Bank- Accelerating Nutrition Results in Nigeria (ANRiN) Project. Nigeria is also stepping up efforts to meet the SDGs.

[b]Micronutrient Laboratories Limited launched in November 2020 its Cognito Micronutrient Powder.
