Congrats Prof. Andrew. Nice hearing a good news out of Zaria after many years.
Glad to say he was my first biochemistry lecturer in MBBS 200 level at faculty of medicine, ABU Zaria. 1993. ( 20 years ago)
He was always talking about his research work in Japan and how he had access to all the materials at the lab. This made me vowed to do my postgraduate studies in the best setting and am doing best to represent Nigeria.
Proudly Abusite - we lead others follow
Proudly Nigerian

Wonderful, Nigerians are very smart. Only that when they choose to use their talents for evil, even the devil will be jealous of them!

since this prize is from Germany, his achievements is worth celebrating. parasitic diseases such as malaria/plasmodiasis and sleeping sickness/ trypanosomiasis(his work) can sometimes prove difficult to treat. prof should get ready to collect his Nobel prize datz all!

I'm happy to be an ABUSITE! Ahmadu Bello University. So so unique

This is a Great Milestone in Science Research with promising prospects not just for the Nigeria but Africa generally.

Prof Nok. Kudos

This really caught my attention, that he had all his Education in this country ignites my passion again to say when the situation gets tough the tough gets going. This is more than the energy football. Probably more than the Government recognition. Kudos to Prof. Nok and all the best brain coming out of this country.

Congratulations Prof! More grease.

We as a country need more of this.
kudos once more.

Am proud to be an ABUSITE!!! Like we say "an ABU student is ahead of others naturally" HIP HIP HURRAY!!!

I was discussing the current state of Science in Nigeria a couple of weeks back, specifically whether or not studying physical and natural science courses like Physics (which i did study), Chemistry, Botany, Biochemistry, etc is worth the effort. We came to the rather disturbing conclusion that it isn't, simply because Nigerian Universities lack the facilities and Human Capital to engage in contemporary and cutting edge Research. Most of these Universities are still using obsolete Syllabus and Course materials in this age and time.
This is why achievements like Prof A.J. Nok's should be celebrated by all well-meaning people of Science. Most importantly, It shows that the black race in general, and Nigeria in particular is not a doomed race, educationally. We only need the right atmosphere and a level-playing ground to realize our full potentialities.
There are many potential Noks in Nigeria, wasting away due to non-conducive teaching and research environment. For the most populous black Country in the world, this is a big shame. I congratulate the Professor of Biochemistry for his achievement. Let us hope there is more from where that came from. What a wonderful day to be an Alumni of A.B.U., Zaria; the largest University in Sub-Saharan Africa.

congratulations to the amiable Prof. proudly Nigerian, truly African.

Good News

Hmm...

He says it wouldn't cost up to half a billion box to build a high tech genetic studies lab, so Abt 20 senators can just forfeit their monthly salaries and pastor I need 1 billion naira from 10 ppl could also take care of it too achieve this dream that would better the community medically, socially and economically. Anyway congrats to the northern prof, a good role model for an eastern dude like me

wow thats me

Bolt2011: Congrats Prof.
Hard work always pay
I learnt he was supposed to be the VC of ABU after getting 80 percent of the votes at the senate meeting but for religious sentiments.
Kudos to a true academic icon.
Proudly Abusite!!!.... Naturally ahead

Yes.. He was elected thrice but was rejected thrice.. They later settled for Umoh

ABU naturally ahead

y are pple from kaduna and jos vry short and dark skinned e.g mi,iceprince and diz man here y are pple from kaduna and jos vry short and dark skinned e.g mi,iceprince and diz man here

I hope he wins a Nobel Prize.

Woo!! About d Best news I hv heard in a long time..... It wud be terribly thrilling to have an African win d Nobel Prize in any of Sciences, finally. If that African is a Nigerian, that makes it even more Special. Congrats Prof. I wud Certainly be like you sm day

We are so proud of u sir.
Proudly An Abusite!!!

Prof Nok has also suffered from Religious centiment in ABU yet he is taking the name to global heights. He is the right man for the post of the VC but for him been a christian. No beef, God bless him and increase his wisdom, God bless ABU, God bless Nigeria.

HNosegbe: Now THIS is a true celebrity.

Not tonto decay or beverly osu..

Nice one

Impressive! Now, that's highly commendable. Kudos sir, more grace

This should encourage Nigerians and the Nigerian government to fund research and development in our higher institutions. Hosting and funding Nollywood will not elevate Nigeria's profile.
Congratulations,Prof!

rubii09: Nigerians and tribalism.if it was someone from the south the comments will be higher. smh

Na u exactly dey cause tribalism. What exactly is the meaning of this your unsolicited comment? He is a Nigerian and we are proud of him. Simple! Havent we celebrated professors and high achievers from the east, west, south, middle belt and north? Why instigating tribalism man?
