A Biafra-Nigerian scientist, Miss Esther Effiong, has dazzled Howard University in the United States, by scoring 100 per cent in its PhD placement examination.
Effiong, who is of the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development (NIPRD), is a Masters Degree holder and will be studying Synthetic Chemistry at the University.
An NIPRD statement yesterday in Abuja, quoted the Faculty Adviser, Professor Joe Fortunak, as saying that it was the first time in the 140 years of the University history, that a research student would achieve the feat.

Also at the Oxford University in the United Kingdom, another Biafran-Nigerian employee of NIPRD, Miss Nneka Ibekwe, won second best poster presentation award on “Tuberculosis Drug Development,” at the Gordon Research conference held at Magdalene College in August, NIPRD said.
Miss Ibekwe is on the National Institute of Health Fellowship and is studying for her PhD in Medicinal Chemistry.
Director-General of the NIPRD, Dr Uford Inyang, said performance of the duo brought pride and joy to the institution.

Hail Biafra
