Dr. I.H. Isidienu, FCAI Registrar |
Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka has held its 37th Inaugural lecture which was delivered by a professor of organic Chemistry, Prof. Mabel Akpuaka,.
While delivering her lecture, titled:“Organic chemists: Making molecules through syntheses and obtaining them from nature for the benefit of the society”, Prof. Akpuaka revealed that about 40% of all modern drugs that are in use are developed from the natural products for the benefit of society. Also, she noted that although synthetic drugs have progressed to the level that natural product drugs can be overlooked, and developments have proved that natural products still remain the bedrock of any drug discovery process.
According to her, “Modern pharmacy and medicine are indebted to nature because an impressive number of modern drugs have been derived from them. The level of development of any country is adjudged by the number of chemical industries of that country, opining that the Federal Government of Nigeria should make use of the technocrats in sciences and chemical engineering to take charge of these sectors of the economy, so that the chemicals produced would end importation.”
Prof. Akpuaka further explained that Chemistry revolves around activities of man and his environment. Chemistry is everywhere, its principles and ideas are used to produce chemicals from which all manner of materials and consumer goods are manufactured. Examples include; the conversion of crude oils or petroleum into solvents such as petrol, kerosene, diesel, bitumen or asphalt for road surfacing; conversion of coal into coke, coal tar from which other chemicals are produced are all chemistry at work. She further encouraged chemistry researchers to be serious with their studies because chemistry research requires great hard work and diligence.
Earlier in his speech, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Ahaneku, FAS described the inaugural lecturer as an epitome of knowledge and true academic who has mentored several persons in the field. He later installed Prof. Mabel Ukachi Akpuaka as the 37th inaugural lecturer of Nnamdi Azikiwe University.

The Resource Person, Dr. Chidi Ezinwa from ESUT gave details of the global situation of the child.
