Peter Obi Congratulates Prof. Uchegbu on Cambridge Appointment

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, extended his congratulations to Professor Ijeoma Uchegbu, a Nigerian-born academic, on her recent appointment as the president of Wolfson College at the University of Cambridge. The announcement was made on Monday.

Professor Uchegbu, a distinguished scholar in the field of Pharmaceutical Nanoscience, is renowned for her pioneering work in nanoparticle drug delivery. 

She is set to take over from the current President, Professor Jane Clarke, on October 1, 2024, becoming the seventh President of Wolfson College, one of the university's 31 colleges.

Obi expressed his joy and congratulations in a series of tweets on his X handle on Monday. He wrote, “I wish to joyfully congratulate Ijeoma Uchegbu, a Nigerian and Professor of Pharmaceutical Nanoscience, celebrated for her exceptional work in nanoparticle drug delivery, who has just been announced as the 7th President of Wolfson College, one of the 31 colleges of the University of Cambridge.

“Prof. Uchegbu, currently a lecturer at University College London, is also globally celebrated for her high intellectual and global works in  Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) which have won her numerous awards, fellowships, and accolades, as she continues to trail the blaze in pharmaceutical nanoscience.

“Her innovative breakthrough and academic excellence, reborn out of years of dedication and hard work, have not only led to the development of new treatments that promise to transform pain relief but have also paved the way for deeper research in pharmaceutical science for the improvement of health – a very critical index of human development. As she boldly steps into her new position next year, I wish her more all-around success.”

The former Governor of Anambra State also expressed his optimism that Professor Uchegbu will continue to make significant global impacts in her new role, and inspire a new generation of passionate researchers dedicated to advancing the frontiers of science, medicine, and global health.

He further encouraged her to continue contributing to the development of Nigeria, particularly in the sectors of health and education.
