“Furthermore, he introduced a new and powerful iterative algorithm, which is the only one in the literature that does not involve the resolvent, for approximating a zero of maximal monotone map,” he said.

Ekhaguere was rewarded for his outstanding discipline that involves innovatively creating new directions in mathematics and deploying the outcomes to solve outstanding problems in branch of mathematical physics called Axiomatic Quantum Field Theory.

“Ekhaguere is a mathematician with research interest and activities, principally in mathematical physics, ” the chairman explained.

But for Olutoye, his renowned surgical performance took medical sciences by storm.

“Professor Olutoye is an outstanding world- surgeon and scientist who is widely celebrated for having performed in-uterus surgery on fetuses with large tumors while still in their mothers’ womb.

“His recognition as the first African and indeed, the first Nigerian to perform this feat has reverberated all over the world and brought immense prominence to Nigeria, ” the NNMA board, noted.

Meanwhile, the investiture of the awardees will be statutorily performed by President Muhammadu Buhari on a date to be announced by the presidency.

In addition to the recognition, the awardees would be given N10 million and an 18-karat gold medal.

The award which is a yearly event did not hold in 2020 because of the effects of corona virus.

But last year, the NNMA was able to hold the assessment of 2020 and 2021 concurrently and it was approved by the president.(vitalnews)
