In future, I have interest in working further in these areas to keep in touch with global current trends needed for a better future for humanity, hinged on the potentials available through service.<\/p><p>With my years of teaching experience and research supervision at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, coupled with my experience as the Deputy Director of the Academic Planning Unit of the University of Lagos from August 1, 2017 to July 31, 2019, the academic experience needed for a sound curriculum had been imparted on many graduates. Some of my former students are PhD holders, while some are still embarking of further studies and research at various postgraduate levels. With my interaction over the years with students, academics, researchers, as well as industrialists within and outside the university community, conferences, workshops and industrial visits within and outside Nigeria, diversity, equity and inclusion of various backgrounds and races had been acquired. This includes scholarship, teaching, mentorship, service and engagement, skill building and personal growth.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><ol><li><strong> Positions, Scientific Appointments, and Honours<\/strong><\/li><\/ol><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Position, status and experience with dates:<\/p><ol><li>Assistant Lecturer: April 15, 2002 \u2013 September 30, 2003<\/li><li>Lecturer II: October 1, 2003 &#8211; November 26, 2008<\/li><\/ol><ul><li>Lecturer I: November 26, 2008 \u2013 September 30, 2013<\/li><\/ul><ol><li>Date of confirmation of appointment: April 15, 2009<\/li><li>Sabbatical appointment with Department of Chemical Engineering, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso: May 2, 2012 \u2013 May 1, 2013<\/li><li>Senior Lecturer: October 1, 2013 \u2013 November 28, 2018<\/li><\/ol><ol><li>Functioned as the Chairman \/ Coordinator of the Departmental Postgraduate<\/li><\/ol><p>Committee.
