A student of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Okeke Johnpaul Ebubechukwu, has gained continental recognition for his research at a major academic symposium.
Okeke Johnpaul Ebubechukwu is a Petroleum and Gas Engineering student at UNILAG. He was honoured at the Artificial Intelligence and Antimicrobial Resistance (AI & AMR) Symposium 2026, held in Kampala, Uganda.
The event was organised by the African Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Data Intensive Sciences at Makerere University and brought together researchers, innovators, and scholars from across Africa and beyond.
The symposium focused on the use of artificial intelligence in tackling public health challenges, particularly antimicrobial resistance.
At the event, Okeke presented a research project titled “AMRScan: A Large Language Model Framework for Real-Time Synthesis of Global Antimicrobial Resistance Research and Emerging Threat Detection.”
His work stood out among more than 600 submissions, ranking in the top seven per cent for its originality, technical depth, and global relevance.
In addition, the UNILAG student emerged second overall in the Best Poster Presentation category, a strong achievement in a highly competitive field.
The recognition highlights the growing contribution of students from the University of Lagos to research in artificial intelligence and global health.
