Dr Aklilu Lemma, a scientist, scholar, professor and leader; an enthusiastic, inspiring, strong, exemplary Ethiopian, just a few of the descriptions given to this wonderful man. Sadly, we honor Dr. Aklilu posthumously. One of his major accomplishments was the study on the properties of the Ethiopian soapberry plant. He belonged to many major international memberships and was given a considerable amount of awards. He initiated and implemented assistance programs designed to help African countries. Professor Aklilu is survived by his wife Woizero Betseiti and his three Children, Tewdros, Mesfin and Semret.
