Susu expressed disappointment that the country did not produce a winner.
NLNG’s General Manager for External Relations and Sustainable Development, Mrs. Eyono Fatayi-Williams, said seeking solutions to Nigeria’s problems and development issues were the reason the Nigeria Prize for Science was set up in line with NLNG’s vision of helping to build a better country.
The judges’ panel included Prof. Patrick Obi Ngoddy (a professor of Food Engineering and Processing), Prof. Yusuf Abubakar and Professor Oyebiodun Longe.
