Speaking at the AGM after the Investiture ceremony, the NIPR President noted that new Fellows of the Institute were selected after a rigorous screening exercise of candidates aspiring for the Fellowship of the Institute by the Fellowship Advisory Committee.

In addition to the regular upgrade, the Institute had opened a special membership upgrade window “in response to the yearnings of members, to facilitate the processing of the upgrade of NIPR members who had lost precedence or proper categorization due to circumstances beyond their control”. It was this special upgrade window that gave Mrs. Ogugua and 61 of her colleagues the opportunity to attain the Fellowship.

Mrs. Azuka Ogugua, fnipr, was inducted as an Associate of the Institute in 2001. She is a trained teacher having obtained a B.Sc in Education Biology from the University of Nigeria in 1990.
