DMGS
Prof Obidinma Isaiah Okoli Onyemelukwe, (circa 1937 – 1922) DMGS Class of 56 (Aggrey House and Tugwell House), was an economist and statistician.
He attended Dennis Memorial Grammar School (DMGS) from 1952 to 1956. He loved DMGS and always cherished the memories of his time there.
A proud Dengramite, he was President of the DMGS Old Boys Association, Enugu Branch and also served as Financial Secretary of the Association for many years.
He was the recipient of several scholarships and awards. He would be thrilled to encourage a student in Mathematics and Economics, which were his areas of expertise, with awards in these subjects.
