I am pleased to inform you and the IFS community that I have been appointed the Vice-Chancellor of the Pen Resource University in Gombe, Nigeria. This is another recognition of the mentorship and training I have benefitted from IFS. Your support of my research and progress is highly appreciated and it is what has been rewarded by this appointment. I cannot thank all the team at IFS enough. Just consider Pen Resource University as a new home for IFS and research in Nigeria! '
Professor Igoli was awarded his first IFS grant in 2005, for a research project on “Phytochemical evaluation and antimalarial activity of some diterpenoids from Lonchocarpus laxiflorus”.
