Atiku Abubakar has congratulated Vice chancellor of University of Lagos, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe and Dr. Temitope Onuminya on winning the 2021 Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) grants.
He said that Biodiversity is an area of scholarships that should concern Nigeria because of its potentials in turning waste into wealth and its greenhouse advantages.

Mr Onuminya, on the other hand, won an institutional level grant of 18,850 euros for implementation of a BID project proposal: “Expanding the Visibility of the Lagos Herbarium through Digitisation and Mobilisation of Plant Specimen Data”.
