On October 23, 2017, the President of African Development Bank (AfDB), Dr. Akin Adesina, visited his alma mater, which happens to be my current university, after the award he received, the World Food Prize at University of Iowa, United States. Nigerian graduate students at Purdue University were very proud of his achievements. The University President and other key officers could not but celebrate this global citizen, and that was a revalidation of Nigerians’ resilience and intelligence.
