I am an Animal Welfare scientist who has delved into problem-solving research revolving around Survival of Animals in the fields of Animal health, Animal Behaviour, Animal Nutrition and Animal Physiology for over a decade with notable publications (National and International). I have participated in award-winning grants/research projects both as Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator in Nigeria and Europe. I have supervised over 20 Masters and PhD students. I was an ambassador of the British Society of Animal Science (BSAS, UK) in Nigeria and the first Nigerian to be a Registered Animal Scientist in the UK through BSAS. I served as the President of the student body (2011), which enabled me to serve on the main council of the prestigious association. I teach and have developed Animal welfare curriculum for both Undergraduate and Postgraduate students at the University, especially at the Center of Excellence in Agricultural Development and Environmental Sustainability (Faculty member). The enhancement of neonatal livestock survival and the improvement of the Animal production system in Africa through a focus on health and welfare practices have been my goal and research focus.
