Abuja (Flowerbudnews): Hon. (Dr) Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has congratulated Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon, MBE on her new appointment as the Chancellor of Glasgow Caledonian University, UK.
In a congratulatory message, Dabiri-Erewa described the appointment of Dr. Imafidon as a Chancellor as well deserved going by her antecedents and her quest for success.
This was disclosed in a statement by Abdur-Rahman Balogun, Director, Media, Public Relations and Protocols, NiDCOM, on Monday in Abuja.
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, the NiDCOM boss acknowledged the receipt of her invitation to attend the prestigious Chancellor’s installation slated for July 2, as a special guest of Dr. Anne-Marie Imafidon.
The NIDCOM Boss noted that the invitation was a great honour, and 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 a non private University and youngest scientist to become Chancellor of a multidisciplinary 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.
