My research interests involve environmental monitoring/assessment of pollutants. I leverage on quantitative and qualitative data for the assessment/ monitoring and reduction of pollutants in environmental matrices. I have also led numerous research studies and I was co-investigator on the e-waste project IUPAC (more information at http://bit. ly/2n3QOh7). The project brings together multidisciplinary global expertise to explore different aspects of the e-waste challenge.

I have co-authored four chemistry textbooks and have over 30 journal articles in both National and International journals to my credit. My most recent journal in 2019 is the Levels of Awareness and Concentrations of Heavy Metals in the Blood of Electronic Waste Scavengers in Nigeria, Journal of Health & Pollution Vol. 9, No. 21. I have delivered almost 50 papers at National and International conferences.

I am a fellow of the Chemical Society of Nigeria FCSN, member, Institute of Public Analyst of Nigeria (MIPAN) and member, Society for Environmental Toxicology & Pollution Mitigation.

My teaching experience prioritizes an open dialogue with students, attention to detail, and the rigorous pursuit of inculcating the concept of research in chemistry to my students. I am known for my thoughtful integrity, exceptional leadership, supporting the ideas and ambitions of other and empowering my students and colleagues to realize their goals.

I have served in several committees outside my primary Institution. I am a member, Advisory/Technical Committee, National Board for Technology Incubation (NBTI) Lagos Centre under The Federal Ministry of Science and Technology.
