He also worked as a Director, colloquium, Nigeria as well as served as the Coordinator of Institute Francais pour la Recherche en Afrique. The academic achievements of Efa&#8217;s father are numerous, and he is regarded as an influential linguist in Nigeria, with his name ranking in the Marquis Who&#8217;s Who list of linguistics and indigenous languages educators.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to Alexander Ubi Iwara&#8217;s becoming a notable academician, he obtained a bachelor&#8217;s honors from the University of Ibadan, and 3 years later, in 1970, he obtained a Master of Arts from the University of Paris. In 1974, Efa Iwara&#8217;s father obtained a Doctor of Philosophy from one of the high ranking Universities in the world, the University of Wales.
