According to him, the company also named Prof. Yusuf Abubakar as a member in the newly reconstituted three-person board, which will serve to implement wide-sweeping reforms that will re-position the prize as one of the top science prizes in the world.

He said Abubakar joins Dr Nike Akande, a two-time minister and former President of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, who remains on the board.

Odeh said: “The newly constituted Board has assumed duties in preparations for the 2022 cycle of the Prize.

“The Board approved ‘Innovations in Sustainable Food Security’ as the theme for the scientific competition.

“Nnaji is a Nigerian scientist and a professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. He was a director of the US National Science Foundation Centre for e-Design, University of Pittsburgh.

Odeh also expressed appreciation to Susu for his selfless service to the prize.

He said Susu assumed leadership at a critical time for the prize when it was being restructured, overseeing the management of change and charting a new trajectory for competition.

Odeh stated that the changes made to the Advisory Board would consolidate the achievements made by the former Board chairman.
