Oluyinka Kufile, Chairman and Managing Director of Qualitec Industries Limited, started business on a small-scale, in the eighties. From importing and marketing pots, pans and aluminium wares, he moved into large scale manufacturing, by setting up a private company focusing on production of aluminum materials and long-span sheets. His company is based in the Agege area of Lagos, but has a huge multi-million naira factory in Otta. “We have made these investments, because we believe that what is worth doing at all, is worth doing well," says Oluyinka Kufile. "When we started, it got to a point that we had to approach American Nexim Bank. They obliged us and gave us the facility. Today, it is a different story.” And that story is a successful one. Kufile, is also the vice-chairman of Basic Metal Group of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN). He is however sad that the Aluminium Smelter Company, located in Ikot Abasi in Akwa Ibom State, is still under lock and key. It used to produce ingots which are the raw materials used for fabrication of aluminium coils. Today, such ingots are imported from Cameroun at a huge cost. If Kufile had his way, he would urge the federal govt to reopen the smelter company, so that local production of ingots can resume. His firm Qualitec is already well positioned to maintain its lead in the industrial sector. His factory already has a rolling mill that reduces aluminium into various thickness and gauges, along with a tension levelling line and other specialised equipment, for ensuring that products from their factory meet global standards. https://www.businessdayonline.com/qualitec-industries-raising-the-bar-in-nigerian-aluminium-industry/ Qualitec Industries Limited is one of the three leading aluminium makers in Nigeria, whose basic business is to manufacture aluminium coils and roofing sheets. 11 Likes 3 Shares

A Nigerian, Prof. Ilesanmi Adesida, has been appointed the Provost/Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, United States of America. But the story is that the Nigerian-born professor of Electronic Engineering with outstanding works in Nanotechnology is the first black man to be appointed in that position in the United States of America. Born in 1949 at Ifon, a town in Ondo State, the United States of America-based Nigerian lecturer, was appointed by the search committee of the institution on merit. Before his appointment, Adesida was the Dean, College of Engineering of the institution. According to Dr. Phyllis Wise, the university’s Vice-President and Chancellor, Adesida succeeds Linda P.B. Katehi-Tseregounis, who last served the role on a permanent basis. Adesida, a former Head of Department, Electrical Engineering, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, Bauchi State, will oversee the institution’s academic programmes, policies and priorities, which have been designed to ensure the quality of the educational experience for students and to sustain an environment that encourages and supports academic excellence. He was at ABTU between 1985 and 1987. But now as the chief academic officer of UI, Adesida will work closely with the Chancellor, other vice-chancellors, the deans of academic colleges and other units, academic staff, the Faculty Senate, and various committees in setting overall academic priorities for the university. The university has a budget of $1.5 billion with more than $400 million in research expenditures. There are 42,000 students and 3,000 faculty members. The university is renowned for its interdisciplinary collaborations, advances in human understanding, community outreach, global partnerships, and life-changing scientific developments. By his appointment, Adesida, who graduated with a Bachelors of Science, Master’s and PhD in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 1974, 1975 and 1979 respectively, will become one of the highest paid academics in the US. According to Dr. Phyllis Wise, UI’s Vice-President and the Chancellor, the cerebral don will earn $430,000 per annum, about N67.51 million. With this amount, Adesida’s annual salary is $30,000 higher than President Barrack Obama, who earns $400,000 per year. Commenting on his appointment, Adesida, who is now a naturalised American, was quoted by a news agency as expressing happiness at the university’s gesture. Adesida said, “I’m honoured and humbled to be selected as vice-chancellor/provost of this great campus (university). This is something I take very seriously. I know how to work very hard and I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get the job done.” According to the website of the university, Adesida is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Vacuum Society, and the Optical Society of America. He is also the past-president of IEEE Electron Devices Society. His outstanding work in the field of Nanotechnology has received much acclaim in the scientific community. He has developed a body of work in the processing of semiconductors and other materials at the nanometer-scale level. After his studies, he worked in various capacities at what is now known as the Cornell Nanofabrication Facility and the School of Electrical Engineering, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. In June 2005, Adesida became the 13th dean since the inception of the College of Engineering in 1870. He joined UI as a faculty member in 1988 and he is currently the Donald Biggar Willett Professor of Engineering, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, and Director of the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology. Adesida has previously served as the Director of the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory and the Associate Director for education of the NSF Engineering Research Centre for Compound Semiconductor Microelectronics. According to the university’s website, Adesida’s research interests include nanofabrication processes and ultra-high-speed optoelectronics. He also has extensive experience in development of novel processes for wide band gap materials such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride. He has also worked on ultra-high-speed photo detectors and photo receivers in various materials systems. Adesida has chaired many international conferences, including serving as the Programme and General Chair of the Electronic Materials Conference, 2000-2003. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Vacuum Society and Optical Society of America. He is past-president of IEEE Electron Devices Society, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. According to an appointment notice on the institution’s website, Adesida will also continue as Donald Biggar Willett Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, non-tenured, on an academic year service basis, on zero percent time, with an increment of $5,000, effective August 16, 2012, for a total annual salary of $430,000. “In addition, Adesida will continue to hold the following appointments on terms which were effective August 16, 2011: Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, College of Engineering, on indefinite tenure, on an academic year service basis, on zero per cent time, non-salaried; Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, College of Engineering, non-tenured, on an academic year service basis, on zero per cent time, non-salaried; Professor, Coordinated Science Laboratory, College of Engineering, non-tenured, on an academic year service basis, on zero per cent time, non-salaried; Research Professor, Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory, College of Engineering, non-tenured, on an academic year service basis, on zero per cent time, non-salaried; Institute Affiliate, Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, office of the VC for Research, non-tenured, on an academic year service basis, on zero per cent time, non-salaried; and Institute Affiliate, Institute of Genomic Biology.” 3 Likes

Patents by Inventor Olu Atanda Olu Atanda has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Self-lubricating layer for data storage devices Patent number: 6677105 Abstract: A silicon nitride self-lubricating layer forms the upper surface of a data storage device, such as a rotating disk or a non-rotating memory device, e.g., a credit card-type memory device using a memory strip. The silicon nitride self-lubricating layer can replace the carbon protective overcoat and liquid lubricant used in conventional data storage devices. The silicon nitride self-lubrication layer provides the desired lubrication and protection between the slider and the data storage device. The silicon nitride layer also will not evaporate under high temperatures found in an optical data storage system. In addition, a data storage device may include a plastic polymer layer over which an iron oxide material is deposited. The use of a plastic polymer layer and iron oxide recording layer is particularly advantageous because a low temperature deposition process can be used with the iron oxide material. Type: Grant Filed: May 4, 2001 Date of Patent: January 13, 2004 Assignee: Toda Kogyo Corporation Inventors: Po Wen Wang, Evan F. Cromwell, Olu Atanda Self-lubricating layer for a data storage disk Patent number: 6430114 Abstract: A silicon nitride self-lubricating layer forms the upper surface of a data storage disk.

Afonjas go though this link to help yourselves, Igbos are not your mate from genesis, no amount of propagand can change that Go through this link THE IGBO ENTREPRENEUR IN THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OFNIGERIA Olanrewaju Akinpelu OLUTAYO Department of Sociology, Faculty of the Social SciencesUniversity of Ibadan ABSTRACTCentral to the capitalist orientation introduced to the Third World nationsthrough colonialism is the role of entrepreneurs in development. This group is still perceivedas inevitable if these nations are to develop. In spite of all the attempts to develop date, verylittle is being achieved.While this monograph recognises the importance of entrepreneurs in development, itasserts that these entrepreneurs have always existed in pre-colonial Nigeria but the re-orien-tation brought about through capitalism has fundamentally affected the pre-colonial situation.As such, there is a disjuncture between the latter and the present capitalist expectation.More importantly, the author tries to debunk the position of certain European writers thatcertain ethnic groups are better entrepreneurs than others. Thus, the responsiveness of theIgbo ethnic group of Nigeria to European economic incentives was a result of a certain his-torico-sciological position that this group occupies in Nigeria. It is posited that as the nationapproaches the twenty- fi rst-century, one cannot say with certainty that ethnicity should be themain consideration for entrepreneurial ability. It is the political economy of each nationwithin the World Capitalist System that will determine the emergent scenario. http://www.academia.edu/25356964/The_Igbo_Entrepreneur_in_the_Political_Economy_of_Nigeria (Modify) (Quote) (Report) (Share) 1 Like

Wole Soyinka - Biographical Wole Soyinka was born on 13 July 1934 at Abeokuta, near Ibadan in western Nigeria. After preparatory university studies in 1954 at Government College in Ibadan, he continued at the University of Leeds, where, later, in 1973, he took his doctorate. During the six years spent in England, he was a dramaturgist at the Royal Court Theatre in London 1958-1959. In 1960, he was awarded a Rockefeller bursary and returned to Nigeria to study African drama. At the same time, he taught drama and literature at various universities in Ibadan, Lagos, and Ife, where, since 1975, he has been professor of comparative literature. In 1960, he founded the theatre group, "The 1960 Masks" and in 1964, the "Orisun Theatre Company", in which he has produced his own plays and taken part as actor. He has periodically been visiting professor at the universities of Cambridge, Sheffield, and Yale. During the civil war in Nigeria, Soyinka appealed in an article for cease-fire. For this he was arrested in 1967, accused of conspiring with the Biafra rebels, and was held as a political prisoner for 22 months until 1969. Soyinka has published about 20 works: drama, novels and poetry. He writes in English and his literary language is marked by great scope and richness of words. As dramatist, Soyinka has been influenced by, among others, the Irish writer, J.M. Synge, but links up with the traditional popular African theatre with its combination of dance, music, and action. He bases his writing on the mythology of his own tribe-the Yoruba-with Ogun, the god of iron and war, at the centre. He wrote his first plays during his time in London, The Swamp Dwellers and The Lion and the Jewel (a light comedy), which were performed at Ibadan in 1958 and 1959 and were published in 1963. Later, satirical comedies are The Trial of Brother Jero (performed in 1960, publ. 1963) with its sequel, Jero's Metamorphosis (performed 1974, publ. 1973), A Dance of the Forests (performed 1960, publ.1963), Kongi's Harvest (performed 1965, publ. 1967) and Madmen and Specialists (performed 1970, publ. 1971). Among Soyinka's serious philosophic plays are (apart from " The Swamp Dwellers" The Strong Breed (performed 1966, publ. 1963), The Road ( 1965) and Death and the King's Horseman (performed 1976, publ. 1975). In The Bacchae of Euripides (1973), he has rewritten the Bacchae for the African stage and in Opera Wonyosi (performed 1977, publ. 1981), bases himself on John Gay's Beggar's Opera and Brecht's The Threepenny Opera. Soyinka's latest dramatic works are A Play of Giants (1984) and Requiem for a Futurologist (1985). Soyinka has written two novels, The Interpreters (1965), narratively, a complicated work which has been compared to Joyce's and Faulkner's , in which six Nigerian intellectuals discuss and interpret their African experiences, and Season of Anomy (1973) which is based on the writer's thoughts during his imprisonment and confronts the Orpheus and Euridice myth with the mythology of the Yoruba. Purely autobiographical are The Man Died: Prison Notes (1972) and the account of his childhood, Aké ( 1981), in which the parents' warmth and interest in their son are prominent. Literary essays are collected in, among others, Myth, Literature and the African World (1975). Soyinka's poems, which show a close connection to his plays, are collected in Idanre, and Other Poems (1967), Poems from Prison (1969), A Shuttle in the Crypt (1972) the long poem Ogun Abibiman (1976) and Mandela's Earth and Other Poems (1988).
