My research interest will be to Understand the type of Neuroprotection that would be effective for repair and neuroregeneration in acute and chronic nerve damage.
My Immediate aim will be to have an M.Sc. in neuroscience, to be followed with Ph.D. Long term plan is to become a research Professor in one of the federal universities in Nigeria, contributing to the body of Knowledge, training both undergraduate and graduate students, and successfully pioneering a novel way of treating nervous system disorders of interest. As I think of how difficult living a productive life will be without the proper working of the central and peripheral nervous system. I am convinced that striving to gain a better understanding of the nervous system through its scientific study will make me contributes towards the advancement of
