On behalf the Federal Executive Council and all Nigerians, President Muhammadu Buhari sends warm greetings to renowned Mathematician and Economist, Prof. Chukwuka Okonjo, Obi of Ogwashi-Uku, who turns 90 on 21st June, 2018.
President Buhari joins Ogwashi-Uku community in Delta State, immediate and extended Okonjo family, professional colleagues and friends of His Royal Highness in celebrating the cerebral scholar whose imprint on education in Nigeria and beyond remain indelible.
