    The student from Turkey came first while Dagona, the Nigerian representative came second and the Argentine student came third.

    It was reported that Dagona who hails from Gashua town of Yobe state studied NCE chemistry education at Yobe state Umar Suleiman College of Education in Gashua town.

    The genius took part in the “Imaginechemistry” competition and came second among the top five best in the final round.
