My contribution to science and its impact on society
For about ten years I have been a lecturer in the University of Lagos, Nigeria teaching the basic medical science of Pharmacology to undergraduate (B.Sc., B.Pharm., MBBS, BDS etc.) and postgraduate (M.Sc. and Ph.D.) students, and engaging in research. I have been involved in supervision/mentoring of project students across different student levels, bringing to bear my international exposure in the subject matter of Pharmacology and research. I have been an active member of the Nigerian Young Academy (NYA) with significant involvement in identifying and rewarding excellence, building capacity for science and research through organization of relevant workshops, and championing the course of young scientists in Nigeria in terms of voice, discuss contributions and active engagement in relevant activities. This same passion drove my membership of the Global Young Academy (GYA),a body committed to active engagement of young scientists across countries and cultures of the world. Within the GYA, I have among others being involved with the Global State of Young Scientists (GloSYS) project in terms of the preliminary investigations in selected countries and the plan to conduct a more robust and widespread investigation into the peculiar issues affecting young scientists with a view to encourage the necessary policy change
