Personal Statement
I am a Lecturer and an optimistic Researcher with “I can, and it is Possible” attitude. My current research is in the area of Innovative System Design and Products Development (Design and Production) of Mechanical Engineering. Working to develop Nigerian Youths’ abilities and capabilities in the area of development of Renewable Energy Devices for the purpose of clean power and electricity generation thus reducing the Carbon footprint of Nigerians. Africa is endowed with abundant sunlight hours and wind energy. I am passionate about alternative energies and cleaner environment. The main theme of my research is to help improve living conditions through scalable Renewable Energy solutions, for cooking, clean water, power generation, clean environment, and infrastructure development. I strive to improve quality of lives and the environment through engaging in research in waste conversion to wealth and reducing carbon footprint of our daily activities to ensure cleaner and greener environment. I am actively engaged in research in the areas of Renewable (Solar and Wind) Energies and Clean Environment with extensive experience gained.
