Personal Statement
I face my challenges head on and do not blame others as the causes. I look at my past mistakes and laugh upon myself, at my elders� and say �wow�. As a researcher, I undertake the task of correcting on these mistakes and make them into a system to plan my life, so that those who are coming behind me could have models to study and analyze.

Research Interests
Environment and natural resources degradation that accelerates the three certainties of life: death, tax and changes; Environmental and Social Injustice in Nigeria; Renewable energy & the powering of information communication technology automation and digital devices.
