He has successfully supervised thirty-seven (37) B. Agric. student projects, one (1) Postgraduate Diploma dissertation, and still supervising more post graduate students.. He is a member of professional bodies including the Nigerian Society of Animal Production, Genetic Society of Nigeria, the Animal Science Association of Nigeria, and the Nigerian Institute of Animal Science (Registered Animal Scientist, RAS 01968). He has currently focused his research on
Polymorphisms and expressions of Heat Shock Protein Genes in Tropical Livestock animals especially Ruminants, a field under the Animal Biotechnology area of specialization. He has published over twenty (20) scholarly publications in reputable local and international journals, in addition to few conference proceedings. He is also a reviewer to few international peer reviewed journals.
