Ruth Nwakali was among the graduates of the Faculty of Health Science, Imo State University who got inducted into the medical laboratory science profession in March 2024. Ruth happens to be the last child and only daughter of the Nwakali family.

Meanwhile, the 25-year-old footballer has had quite a number of club transfers, following his departure from English Premier League giants Arsenal in 2019.

The Nigerian midfielder has also been absent from the international scene for almost two years, as his last notable appearance with the Super Eagles squad was the AFCON 2022 tournament hosted by Cameroon.
