I work at the Department of Chemistry, Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University, Makurdi. My research is in Organic Chemistry, Pharmacology and Phytochemistry. I am also interested in drug discovery and in the bioassay of isolated or synthesized compounds. I have a passion for spectroscopic (nmr, mass spec) identification of compounds and the evaluation of medicinal plants used in traditional medicine. I look forward to establishing functional laboratories in Nigeria as I am deeply concerned about the state of research and spectroscopic facilities in Nigeria. I also have a passion for teaching, research and collaboration and I have organized and facilitated several spectroscopy, structure elucidation, grant writing and research publication workshops.
