As cholera rages in Nigeria and some other African countries due to shortage of clean water and good sanitation facilities in the affected areas, a Nigerian-born Dr. Ojodomo Achadu of Teesside University, UK, is leading a groundbreaking research team developing solar-powered water purification for the developing world.

This innovation, in collaboration with South African and Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC experts, has the potential to revolutionize access to clean water in Africa, improving the lives of millions.

His impressive academic background includes a degreee in Industrial Chemistry from the University of Jos, an Masters in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Lagos, and a doctorate in Chemistry/Nanochemistry from Rhodes University. Achadu’s team is developing a system that uses tiny, contaminant-removing nanomaterials to purify water in a single step, with a built-in pathogen detection system for added safety. This solar-powered technology offers a cost-effective solution for remote communities lacking access to clean water.Designed to be sustainable, the water purification technology utilizes free solar power, making it ideal for Africa, where abundant sunlight can be harnessed to easily purify water.
