History

NICOYS is the product of ideas of motivated young Nigerian scientists led by Dr S. Idowu Ola. As the Nigeria representative on the general assembly of the World Academy of Young Scientists (WAYS), Mr Ola conceived the idea of a similar network of young Nigerian scientists to combat the multifaceted problems of science development in Nigeria. In active support of his idea includes Mr Raphael Adesiyan, Dr Danladi Kuta, Mr Dipo Fasoro, Dr Adesola Ajayi and a host of others.

NICOYS graciously received support from Mr Michael Gbadebo who elatedly donated a web space on the reliable and efficient 55uk.net web-host for the immediate take-off of NICOYS website. The new organization also received the blessing and support of the Nigerian Academy of Science under the leadership of Prof G. B. Ogunmola.

NICOYS website was opened on the 3rd of March, 2007 and membership has since been growing.

Board members
NICOYS is presently managed by a group of young scientists led by Dr Idowu Ola. Soon there will be an interim board of 10 members that hopefully will be replaced by elected members before the end of 2007.
