“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 programme. A programme that nurtures inner-city 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.”
