"I had the opportunity to work for 6 months under the supervision of Nutifafa for my master thesis. Even if he looked quite demanding at the first sight, he didn’t hesitate to spend a lot of time to show and explain what he expected from me (at the lab, for presentations, etc…). He later gave me more freedom on the project (and the lead on a side-project), which was really rewarding for a student! Thanks to him, I've followed a 101 class about how to be a good scientist, which was for me one of the best ways to start my scientific career: rigour, perseverance, and abnegation. After some time spent with him, he is in my point of view a scientist of great commitment, strongly enthusiastic about his work, and open to others." - Dr. Félix Houard, INSA-Rennes, France
"Edmond has the patience and perseverance of a good teacher and a good person. He is also curious and open minded which to me are the most important traits of a researcher. He is detailed, critical and at the same time has a good sense of humour. He is a very friendly person which is also one of the reasons we are still friends for almost 7 years." - Godwin K. Krampah, Ph.D. Student, Vrije University of Brussels, Belgium
"Nutifafa is a hard-working person and has good leadership experience as president of the African Students Club in Groningen among others."
Dr. Tadesse Assefa, Stanford University - USA
"Dr. Doumon, a great colleague, and leader. Apart from being academically sound and proficient, he is a leader with great character and vision. I enjoyed my relationship with him and you will not be disappointed if you try. He never runs out of idea and always energetic and committed for any good cause."
"Nutifafa is a very motivated and hardworking leader. It was a pleasure for me to work with him, as presidents of our respective associations, and to share experiences. He is a very respectful professional, and his enthusiasm and good humor are contagious!"
"My stay in AUST brought me very close to Edmond Doumon whom I got to know as a hard-working, amiable, and religious student with an enviable cultural and lingual diversity."
"Edmond Doumon was a student in the class I taught on "Probability, Statistics and Design of Experiments for Engineers" at the African University of Science and Technology, Abuja, in January of 2011. In a class of highly motivated and hard-working African students, Edmond was one of the most enthusiastic participants in the class. It was a joy to have him in class. For someone who, until he attended the class, had only had an informal and rudimentary introduction to the subject matter, he demonstrated remarkable curiosity and uncommon insight. I believe that this combination of intellectual curiosity, natural talent, and hard work will continue to ensure his success wherever he goes and whatever he chooses to do."
"Dr. Doumon was one of the best students to have studied in our Department in recent times. Indeed, it is probably true to say that he is one of the best “all-round” students I have encountered in my thirty-four years or so in the Department! Not only was he a brilliant student who easily made an upper (Honours) second class degree, but he was active in societies and associations and generally got involved in all kinds of activities outside the lecture rooms. Clearly, if a student of this inclination ends up with such a good degree, several inferences can be made: that he is able to organize his time well, can study and work with very little or no supervision, etc. "
