Can you tell us about your academic journey and what inspired you to pursue a career in your chosen field?
Well, I consider myself a lifelong learner and teacher. I sort of knew I would become a teacher when I was a teenager. I remember some of my friends calling me “professor” in secondary school because of my love for academic pursuits. I graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University as one of the best students in my class. My love for teaching found more expression while I worked as lecturer in Nasarawa State Polytechnic, Lafia, for NYSC. I was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to go to the United States during my time in Lafia. After Fulbright, I got my MA and PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and I currently teach at Wayne State University. So, that’s like a summary of my academic and professional journey so far.
