I want to be in the boardroom. I want to be part of the policy mechanism. I want my influence to go higher than the classroom.

I desire to see my country, Nigeria, become a leading destination for impactful clinical studies.

I owe ‘what’, ‘who’ and ‘where’ I am in my career and professional practice today to OWSD because without the PHD Fellowship, all my achievements today would have been nothing but bleak.

I wanted to show women that it was possible that when you do agricultural sciences, you can go on and do more for your career development.

When I am seeing an impact, that’s what makes me as a scientist feel an achievement

What has surprised me is the way technology is emerging and affecting the current state of research. We are encountering a fourth industrial revolution that entails advances in computing power, quantum computing and artificial intelligence, which has already been shown to alter the way we conduct research.

Just give me the seed and I will continue.

“Ten to fifteen years from now, people, not only in Kenya but in the African continent, will switch to magnetic refrigeration”

OWSD has provided tremendous support in shaping my career as a researcher, science ambassador, role model for women scientists and a "think high" human being.

When I got my OWSD fellowship, it was an amazing feeling. Before getting the letter, my academic career was a dream, the letter made it possible.

What fascinated me is that only 5% of microorganisms are harmful, and the rest are beneficiary.

I intend to disperse my achieved knowledge as one of the leading researchers in my country in the domain of microbial biotechnology, to support sustainable and prosperous agriculture.
