Personal statement
I
am a distinguished Professor of 12yrs standing. I am scholarly and well-rooted
in the finest academic tradition and have provided academic leadership in my
University and beyond. I am active in teaching and research, well published and
have an impressive academic web presence. Some of my publications have been
variously cited by other researchers internationally and one of our research
publicationSeasonal profile of nitrate and nitrite
in potable water sources in Onitsha,
published in Environmental Toxicology and Water Quality (Canada) in 1996
is cited as one of the Scientific Supporting Documents adopted for Nitrate
Quality Guidelines in Canada. I
have high reputation and visibility in my profession and command respect among
my peers nationally and internationally. I have served as an external examiner
for both undergraduate & postgraduate programs in many Nigerian
Universities. In 2010 I was appointed as the only African scientist in a
31-member International Joint Expert
Committee of FAO/WHO. I am widely travelled and capacity development and
educational tourism has taken me to over twenty five universities outside
Nigeria (in Europe, USA, Canada, China and the rest of Africa).
I
am an intellectual entrepreneur capable of original, innovative and futuristic
thoughts and have pioneered several enterprises in the University including the
establishment of three Directoratesin NnamdiAzikiwe University. I was also a
member of the University’s first Strategic Plan Committee that rolled out the
2006-2010 strategic plan. I have remained consistently exemplary and diligent
in the discharge of my academic duties and extra-curricular assignments earning
numerous recognitions and letters of commendation from Vice-Chancellors and
University Management as an evidence.
I
have the exceptional capacity to plan, organize, coordinate and control. I am a
peer group leader, well received by my colleagues and command the respect and
loyalty of students and co-workers. I understand the challenges of the Nigerian
society having been a one-time student Union President, a one-time Secretary of
ASUU, a two-term Dean of Student Affairs and a two-term member of the
University Governing Council among others.
I
have trained on leadership at both the Centre
for Management Development (CMD), Shangisha, Nigeria and Harvard University J.F. Kennedy School of
Government, Boston, U.S.A.
I am an active member of the Nigerian civil society community andvery visible within the lecture circuitry and
public discourse arena within the South East Nigeria and beyond.My strongest attributes are vision,
integrity, courage and
unbridled self-confidence that does not fear to bow to superior argument. I am
flexible, and adapt easily to new challenges. I cherish integrity and hard work
and have strong motivation and ability to work under pressure and as part
of a team. I am versatile and have good communications, numerical and
analytical skills, and very proficient in computer and ICT.
I am presently a member of the Federal Government’s National
Committee for the Integration of out-of-school children in the South/East and
South/South States into the Universal Basic Education Programmeand have
led visitation teams of the committee to Edo, Abia and Imo States respectively
for different assignments.
