He has supervised over seventy five undergraduate students, eleven postgraduate diploma students and twenty four master degree students as at September, 2023. He has supervised five Ph.D students four of which are in area of Corrosion and Materials Engineering, and one in Design and Production Engineering. He has worn National recognition such as Postgraduate Scholarship Award of Federal Government of Nigeria, fellowship of the Science and Technology Education Post Basic (Step B) Project and TETFund Conference attendance grants. As a chartered engineer, he has developed a lot of machinery including a Cassava grater, Gari sieving machine, Gari Frying machine, Portable Maize Shelling Machine, Paint Mixer, Yam Peeling machine and Cooking Stove. He is a member of Nigerian Society of Engineers, fellow of Materials Science and Technology Society and fellow of Nigerian Corrosion Association. He was National Auditor of Materials science and Technology society and currently the Continous Professional Development Coordinator, National Technical Secretary of Nigerian Corrosion Association and corporate member of Nigerian Metallurgical Society. He also belonged to some international professional societies like African Materials Research Society and Association of Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) International. He has attended many national and international conferences.
He is an associate editor to some journals, a reviewer to many journals, external examiner and promotion assessor to many Universities.He has over seventy publications in learned journals and conference proceedings, some of which are listed below.
