Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala At The AU Summit Closing Ceremony




With His Excellency Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia and with winners of the Kwame Nkrumah Scientific Excellence Award at the African Union Closing Summit in Addis.

The Scientific Excellence Award is a great feature of the AU to encourage Africa’s top science, engineering and technology talent. This year the awards went to Prof Atti Nahiza of Tunisia, Prof Aletta Schute of South Africa, Prof Abdel-Shafy Fahmy Obada of Egypt, and Prof David Mark Richardson of South Africa.

So pleased that two of the four awardees are women! An inspiration to our young scientists continent-wide and especially those at the African University of Science and Technology, Abuja!
