IYALE BORN PROFESSOR RETAINS FOR THE SECOND TIME HIS WORLD SCIENTIST RANKING AT TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY

   Professor Andrew Abraham Zekeri 
 

One of Iyale educationally minded and intellectually successful sons has in another demonstration of his innate talent and creativity retained his world ranking as one of the intellectually advanced and scientific best minds in the America's burgeoning academic intellectual industry.

Professor Andrew Abraham Zekeri no doubt is World's renowned author and social scientist at the Tuskegee University (TU) in Alabama, USA.

The Kogi Born Professor of Sociology has once again made the list of the World's Scientist Rankings of 2023 after the feat of 2022.

I was made to understand in the course of my 'one on one' interactions with the late doyen of Archaeology and sociology, the former CEO and Managing Director of The Ajaokuta Steel Company LTD, Late Dr. Tom A. Miachi, that Professor Andrew Abraham Zekeri was the person to be appointed an academic Professor from Iyale in the 90s. 

He stated with strong emphasis that "Dr. Andrew Abraham Zekeri was our first Professor.

He was the first to tell me the above while serving as his political confidential secretary while pursuing his Senatorial ambition of 2007, in the course of our discussion, that Professor Andrew Abraham Zekeri was the first son of Iyale to be appointed as a Professor of Sociology at The Tuskegee University in Alabama USA.

We at the Ototonobi Reporters do hope that he will contribute meaningfully towards our African collective growth and development. 

There are obvious lessons for us back home in this. Perhaps the most significant of all is the consistency and audacity to reached beyond the shore of our country and the continent of Africa to achieve these extraordinary feats on a world stage.

 Those things speak volumes.

Congratulations sir!

ABENEMI’S CARETAKER COMMITTEE OF KOGI SDP: A FARCE?

  ABENEMI’S CARETAKER COMMITTEE OF KOGI SDP: A FARCE? The situation regarding the caretaker committee established by the SDP in Kogi state is beginning to shift, as the presiding judge has decided to return the case to the Chief Judge (CJ) for reassignment to a substantive judge once the judicial vacation ends. This decision is significant because, upon reassignment, the new judge will set a fresh date for the hearing, which, according to reports, may be sometime in October or November. Until then, all parties must maintain the status quo, meaning, Hon. Moses Peter will continue as the chairman, and the caretaker committee's actions will be rendered ineffective, making all their decisions null and void. In terms of the upcoming elections, this implies that: - The Kogi State Independent Electoral Commission (KOSIEC) will be legally bound to recognize Moses Peter as the party chairman and work with him on all electoral matters. - Candidates not presented to KOSIEC through the office ...
