Bio
My journey to the field of science (chemistry) began during my high school days when I was inspired by one of my tutors; his talent and ability to relate chemistry with medical science were among the things that led me to pursue my future ambition in chemistry. In addition, as a young scientist who desires to conduct scientific research, I encountered several cases that necessitated a research-based approach during my diploma in science laboratory technology and my period of attachment at a medical laboratory. Notable among them was the issue of bacterial resistance to antibiotics.
As a laboratory scientist then, I try to contribute toward finding the cause of such problems, especially within our environment, and that prompts me to carry out my diploma research on "Bacteriological Assessment of Locally Prepared Ice Cream Sold within Our Environment." The study was conducted to find the root cause of rampant bacterial infection among schoolchildren. The research findings play a significant role in ascertaining some of the root causes of the problem. The research outcome was disseminated to some of the manufacturers, and it helped them further improve the quality of their products. Having achieved some milestones in that research and having an interest in bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance, this is growing at an alarming rate globally. I decided to do my honors and master's research on the synthesis, characterization, and antimicrobial studies of transition metal complexes using antibiotics under the supervision of Prof. N.P. Ndahi, at the Chemistry Department, University of Maiduguri, Maiduguri, Nigeria. That research aimed to determine if antibiotic efficacy could be improved through complexation with metals. The outcome showed that some complexes had more antimicrobial activity than the parent antibiotics. About three journals and a conference paper were produced from that research.
With the global rise in cancer cases and the increasing prevalence of bone cancer, which has no standard drug or treatment, I decided to focus my research on developing metal complexes and testing their efficacy for the palliative treatment of bone cancer. This also led to my Ph.D. research on the synthesis of lanthanide complexes as cancer palliatives, with a focus on bone cancer, under the supervision of Prof. A. J. Muller of the University of Johannesburg's Department of Chemical Science. I am an active member of the Chemical Society of Nigeria (CSN), the Institute of Chartered Chemists of Nigeria (ICCON), and the recipient of a Chevron scholarship award for an honors program in 2007 and a Nigeria-Sao Tome joint development authority scholarship for an M.Sc. in 2013–2015. In addition, I am also the recipient of a University of Johannesburg Commonwealth Scholarship for the Ph.D. program in 2018.
