Dr Akinola, is a member of the World poultry association, Nigeria branch, Nigerian Society of Animal Science, Animal Science Association of Nigeria and a member of Nigerian Institute of Animal Science.
He currently the college representative in the ICTREC board. He is also the current chairperson of the Pig management technical committee (PIMTEC), FUNAAB.
His main research interests are in non-ruminant animal production systems and nutrition; and the adoption of Agro-industrial by-products in animal feeding with aim to reduce animal production cost, with particular emphasis on pigs.
Dr Akinola has over 35 articles in local and international learned Journals including proceedings, with paper presentations in many scientific conferences in and outside the shore of Nigeria.
