Funsho Arogundade.
A Nigerian, Freeman Osonuga, has been
shortlisted to travel to space. Osonuga,
a Medicine and Surgery graduate from
Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ogun State,
was selected through the Rising Star
programme, which was launched at the
One Young World Summit 2014 in
Dublin.
The programme invited One Young
World Ambassadors and outstanding
members of the public, aged 18-35, to
nominate themselves to embark on the
trip of a lifetime.
If selected for the programme, a
candidate will not only embark on a
once in a lifetime flight to space but will
also be offered a three-year
management contract. Osonuga will be
the first black African to fly to space.
Osonuga is a 2015 WIRED Innovation
Fellow. He will be speaking live on stage
at the WIRED 2015 conference in
October in London. In late 2014, at the
Peak of the Ebola epidemic in West
Africa, he worked as a volunteer with the
African Union team of Ebola responders
for six months in Sierra Leone. thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2015/08/15/osonuga-nigerian-shortlisted-for-space-trip/ |
