I had an opportunity to study with Dr. Ifeanyi at the University of Oxford’s Global Health Summer School. I was soon struck by Ifeanyi’s wit and intelligence and his in-depth knowledge of public health issues. He was very professional and knowledgeable when answering our questions, but also a great person to be around, huge sense of humour and personal culture. Since attending the school I have often been in touch with Ifeanyi, as we both work in international development. Ifeanyi is truly passionate about his profession and I have no doubt that he would make a great addition to any team that needs a quality medical/public health professional.

Dr. Nsofor, or Ifeanyi, as we’ve come to know him, was an inspiration to our class. We studied Strategic Frameworks for Non-Governmental Organizations (Harvard Kennedy School of Government), and Ifeanyi was one of our most respected collegues. His insights were highly valued, and his outstanding contributions to our class clearly demonstrated his dedication to the work he performs. It is a great pleasure to have the opportunity to endorse him as an example of excellence.
