Professor Aluko:
Thank you very much for sharing the beautiful photos of Ekiti State's late female Deputy Governor, who was an embodiment of true beauty and intelligence (I am also not apologizing for commenting on her beauty!).
My follow-up question is for you as well as other Scientists on this Dialogue series: Please, what is society going to do about CANCER, which is destroying the young, the middle-aged and the old? What are our universities doing in terms of research about that cankerworm? I always worry about many good people dying of cancer, hence I expect our science institutions to do more than what they do, especially in the area of cancer research.
For example, I never saw anything good in the leadership of Ghana's late military leader, I.K. Acheampong, except for two curious statements that were attributed to the then military strong man: when he reportedly said in exasperation that the Kumasi-based Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) was built or established before he was born, yet that science institution (according to Acheampong) had not been able to manufacture even a pin (of course, that was an exaggeration on his part); and also when he appealed for peace and reconciliation in Ghana in his first and only Dawn Broadcast in the following words: "He that quarrels with the past, does not only lose the present but the future also." KNUST, as a scientific institution, is very useful but, still, many well-meaning Ghanaians want to see more from its researchers!
Deputy Governor of Ekiti State dead at 52.Mrs. Funmilayo Olayinka, who died of cancer, is survived by husband and three children, aged parents and siblings.May her pretty soul rest in eternal peace.
