Professor Ekhaguere's high academic ability was evident at an early age, when he won the competitive five-year scholarship of the Western Region of Nigeria tenable in the prestigious Immaculate Conception College (ICC), Benin City in 1961. He completed his secondary school education with a First Division Certificate in 1965. He was awarded a scholarship in 1966 by the ICC for his Higher School Certificate (HSC) education (1966-67). Best known among his friends and colleagues simply as Gos, he gained admission into the University of Ibadan, Nigeria (West Africa) for his undergraduate studies in 1968. In 1971, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree with Honors in Physics. He then proceeded to the Imperial College of Science & Technology (now Imperial College of Science, Technology & Medicine) London where he earned the Diploma of Imperial College (D.I.C.) in Mathematical Physics in 1974. In 1976, he earned a Ph.D. in Mathematical Physics from the University of London (Bedford College).
Professor Ekhaguere was a Subdean, Faculty of Science, University of Ibadan(1981-82); Head, Department of Mathematics, University of Ibadan (1993-96), and Member of the University of Ibadan Governing Council (1995-97). Since 1995, he is the Vice-President of the Nigerian Mathematical Society. He is a Full Professor of Mathematics (since 1988) on the faculty of the University of Ibadan. He can be reached at gose@aau.org.
Professor has served or is currently serving as Secretary of The Nigerian Association of Mathematical Physics (1979-90), member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Nigerian Mathematical Society (1992-), member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of the Nigerian Association of Mathematical Physics (1979-), member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Science Research (Faculty of Science, University of Ibadan) (1993-), and a Course Instructor at the National Mathematical Centre, Abuja (1989-). He has participated in several International Congresses of Mathematicians organized by the International Mathematical Union (IMU), including the last one held in August 1998 in Berlin, Germany.
