Nigerian Professor Wins $1 Million Dollars Award for Solving 150 Years Old Maths Problem

A Nigerian academian, Dr. Opeyemi Enoch has solved a maths problem, which has gone more than 150 years without a solution. The Riemann Hypothesis was first proposed by Bernhard Riemann in 1859. As the first person to provide a solution, Dr. Enoch has been awarded a million dollar prize. Read the full report below.  

The 156 years old Riemann Hypothesis, the most important problem in Mathematics has been successfully solved by this Nigerian Scholar, Dr Opeyemi Enoch.

With this breakthrough, Dr Enoch, who teaches at the Federal University, Oye Ekiti (FUOYE), has become the fourth egghead to resolve one of the seven Millennium Problems in Mathematics.The Kogi State-born mathematician had, before now, worked on mathematical models and structures for generating electricity from sound, thunder and Oceanic bodies.
