Prof FN Okeke is Prof PN Okeke's wife. I used to visit their house in UNN that year(2002-2007) because I know their children especially Pham Ejike. PN also taught me PHY107 and PHY109. They are both senior lecturers at the department of physics and astronomy of the faculty of physical science UNN. They're both very good in what they do. 1 Like |
