Profile
Ph.D (Acoustics) 2006
M.Sc (Acoustics) 2002
Head, Department of Physics 2010-2015
As the pioneer head of department, I laid a solid foundation for academic and administrative activities to commence in the department. My successors built on this foundation and we are today proud of a peaceful department full of academic activities.
Dean, Students Affairs 2015-2019
As a dean of students I maintained peace on campus among the students and between the students and the university management by rightly engaging the students through the students' union. This resulted in a smooth running of the academic sessions without any hitch.
Member of Governing Council 2015-2019
In the governing council I contributed in making good policies for the smooth running of the university.
Senate member 2010-2019
As a senate member I contributed to the implementation and execution of university policies again for the smooth running of the system.
I have been member of various committees such as senate examination misconduct committee, students' disciplinary committee, chairman, central time table committee, chairman, space allocation committee etc.
I am a member of the Nigerian Institute of Physics
