A  partial listing of Nigerian Mathematicans.

Indigenous contemporary mathematics research activities in modern Nigeria were pioneered by Chike Obi, Adegoke Olubummo, and James Ezeilo who obtained their doctorates in mathematics from British Universities in the 1950's. Obi and Ezeilo specialized in ordinary differential equations and Olubummo in Analysis. The very high qality of the research activities of these pioneers has been a potent motivating force of many Nigerian mathematicians.

Nigeria has also been a leader in aiding in the development of Mathematics on the entire continent. The second Pan African Congress in Mathematics was held in 1986 in Jos, Nigeria. Aderemi Kuku was a two term president of the African Mathematical Union (1986-1995). Also in 1986 Grace Lele Williams founded AMUCWMA, the African Mathematical Union's Commission on Women in Mathematics in Africa.

More recently, Nigerian researchers in the area of ordinary differential equations are engaged in the investigation of a wide range of interesting questions on qualitative properties of solutions and the existence of periodic solutions of higher order equations. The results of Ezeilo's students Haroon Tejumola and Ethelbert Chukwu standout in this regard. So also are the results ofOluska Akinyele, Anthony Afuwape, and E. N. Onwuchekwa.

In addition to the qualitative study of differential equations, Nigerians are also involved in numerical analysis of solutions. The Benin school, led by the late Simeon Ola Fatunla, and the Ilorin school formed around M.A. Ibiejugba, J.A. Gbadeyan, and P. Onumanyi (now at the University of Jos) are particularly strong in this area.

Thus, Nigeria is today well recognised in the international mathematical community as a center for ordinary differential equations.

The main sachools of functional analysis in Nigeria are located at the University of Ibadan, University of Benin, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife and University of Nigeria at Nsukka. The indigeonous pioneer was the late Adegoke Olubummo, who spent the entire span of his career at Ibadan.

We should note that George Okikiolu, a Nigerian Mathematician in London, has published twice as many papers as any other Black Mathematician. His daughterKatherine Okikiolu recently won two very high research awards in the U.S.

Nice

Iya Abubakar should be from Abu Zaria, cos there is one ICT built in his name
Not sure though

Anyways I'm still open for business
Just a small away
Check my signature

The Olubummos...it runs in the blood

Chike Obi, you are mouthed

sounds to me that you know them.
I'm From the same town with olubummo though.
Yewande has a scientist brother too who once worked with microsoft. dunno maybe he's still there though

How many women dey that list?

DaFuhrer:
How many women dey that list?

lol

Where's late Prof Ayeni from Lautech?

OP I no see my name?

PurestBoy:
Where's late Prof Ayeni from Lautech?

Thank youuuuuuu!
I was using using control + F to search for his name on the list, only your mention came up.
I guess the OP didn't know him.

Thank you, I was waiting for someone to bring up his name....he taught me in lautech

Why is my name not here. I teach nursery one basic mathematics at community international school Iritanefa . Without basic foundation, professors labor in vain

Yeah he taught me too, my hostel was opposite his house at Adenike. I'm 2009 set

Prof Ayeni, man was too good and very influential in Lautech. I'm 2009 set. The man that recalled someone from NYSC camp to come back and sort an issue
