Biography:

Scientist, National Animal Production Research Institute (NAPRI), Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria
As an Animal Scientist, I am interested in exploring nutritional strategies for improving animal production and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from ruminant livestock. I completed a Higher Degree By Research (HDR; Master of Philosophy in Animal Science) from the University of Queensland, Australia, where I investigated the effects of fresh microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris) as a feed supplement for improving sheep performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality. Additionally, I have obtained an International Diploma in Animal Feed from Aeres Training Centre International in Barneveld, the Netherlands. Furthermore, I hold a Master's degree in Animal Science from Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, Nigeria, where I conducted a research project to investigate the effects of soy milk as a substitute for cow's milk in dairy calf nutrition. Moreso, I have completed a Bachelor of Agriculture degree at the University of Maiduguri, Nigeria, where I developed and tested a novel feed supplement for ruminants based on Multi-Nutrient Blocks (MNB). Nonetheless, I have served as a research scientist at the National Animal Production Research Institute (NAPRI) in Nigeria, where I was involved in different research projects on strategies to improve animal production. I have also worked as a farm coach, where I provided technical guidance and assistance to farmers on sustainable feeding techniques. In recognition of the pedigree of my work, I have received highly competitive awards, grants and scholarships. I have authored over 50 scientific papers and presented at various national and international conferences. My expertise and contributions to livestock nutrition have been globally recognised, evident from my invitation as a Next Generation Delegate to the Global Food Security Symposium by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, USA. My work has also gained recognition on professional platforms like LinkedIn, where I have over 7,000 connections and 9,000 followers. My expertise in animal nutrition includes advanced knowledge and skills in conducting in vitro and in vivo experiments; sustainable ruminant production systems; mitigation of greenhouse gases such as methane; and management approaches to utilise existing feed resources more efficiently. My commitment to making a positive impact extends beyond research. I understand the transformative power of education. I am currently mentoring over 20 future scholars in the Ag-Food Sector who aspire to contribute meaningfully to their home countries and the world by sharing firsthand knowledge, guidance, and experiences. My goal is to collaborate with diverse stakeholders in the agri-food sector to develop and conduct demand-driven research projects that will lead to tangible interventions, and positively impact society.

Research Interest:

My research interests are primarily centered around ruminant nutrition, dairy and beef production, alternative protein sources, and sustainability in agriculture.
