The NIDCOM boss said Nigeria is proud of the genius achievements of Anne-Marie, breaking records and setting unimaginable standards at her young age always that has earned her the prestigious assignment to continue to serve humanity.
While praying for her success and impactful tenure, Dabiri-Erewa acknowledged receipt of invitation to attend prestigious Chancellor’s installation slated for July 2, as the special guest of Dr. Anne-Marie Imafidon, saying it is a great honour to her.
According to the statement released by the Commission, the NIDCOM Boss urged Dr. Imafidon not to rest on her oars by being a trail blaizer and continue to motivate others to be the best in all their endeavours.
Dr. Imafidon, apart from being the youngest leader of non private University and youngest scientist to become Chancellor of a multi- disciplinary University, has now become the youngest Chancellor of a major University.
This feat she has attained began with her siblings when they joined the ExcellenceInEducation.org.uk mentorship program. A program that nurtures innercity kids.
While there, she achieved global recognition as the youngest person to attain A-Level in computing and Mathematics followed by a scholarship at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA at a young age of 13.
Dr. Anne- Marie in a statement said “To be welcomed to an institution that stands for the Common Good is one of the greatest honour of my life”.
