In a stellar tribute to Nigerian excellence, Prof. Mrs. F.N. Okeke has received a rare lifetime global honor, an asteroid, 149831 Okeke, has been officially named after her by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).

Prof. Okeke, renowned for her groundbreaking research on the ionosphere and its impact on climate and space weather, has reshaped global understanding of atmospheric physics. Her work has positioned her as a leading voice in space science, bridging the gap between Earth’s atmosphere and the mysteries of the cosmos.

Beyond her academic brilliance, she is also celebrated as the beloved wife of Prof. P.N. Okeke, a distinguished figure in Nigerian science.

With her name now immortalized among the stars, Prof. Okeke’s legacy is no longer confined to Earth, it shines eternally across the universe.
