An updated report notes that Wayne State University student Victor Chukwueke on Wednesday morning will be united with his mom whom he has not seen in a decade. Chukwueke left Nigeria 10 years ago to undergo multiple surgeries and has not seen his family since. He is a chemistry major studying prostate cancer drugs and is applying to medical school. He will speak at WSU's commencement on Thursday, April 21. Wayne State officials, who have been spearheading the effort, arranged for Chukwueke's mom to fly out of Nigeria last night. They are hoping she will arrive in Detroit this morning, in plenty of time for the graduation.
