School of Life Sciences

I had a B.Sc (Ed) in Biology and M.Sc in Applied Entomology from University of Nigeria Nsukka. During my M.Sc I worked on the biology of an African spinach beetle Gasteroclisus rhombiodalis . Currently I am an academic staff of university of Nigeria Nsukka teaching general and applied entomology as well as other general zoology courses in the department of Zoology.

At the moment, I have an ETF (ASD&T) scholarship from the Ministry of Education, Nigerian government to do a PhD in life science at Keele University.
