  • I am passionate about the conservation of our environment, and an advocate for the emancipation of the woman and the girl child. God gives us a home not devoid of bread, and intellect to nurture it. However in our crave for luxuries and speed, we have mutilated the very essence of our well being. Her lacerations hurt not only her but the one who's meant to find joy in her. It therefore rests on us to proffer solutions,to the proliferation of our environment at an optimum cost. I am on a continuous journey to finding ways of improving my environment. My research focus presently is on the treatment of water for reuse and discharge using green materials. I am involved in the valorization of material from waste and environmentally friendly materials for further use. The conversion of waste to products to useful materials may sometimes involve thermal pathways, so I also do thermal studies of such processes. The fate of the woman and the girl child ironically is like that of the environment. Life most times is a lonely walk for them on the path of tutorous pain and decorous silence. Education and enlightenment are imperative towards the realization of their liberation. And I guide them on these paths of freedom. Together we can heal.
