I am currently a senior lecturer in the Department of Pharmacognosy and Drug Development, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kaduna State University (KASU). I holds a Bachelor of Pharmacy (B. Pharm), M. Sc and Ph.D in Pharmacognosy from Ahmadu Bello University Zaria. I have taught undergraduate students in Pharmacy, Nursing, Midwifery, Community Health, Physiotherapy, Dentistry, and Social Rehabilitation. My research interests include the development of plant-derived anticancer agents, phytochemistry, and traditional medicine, with a strong focus on modernizing traditional medical practices and advancing pharmaceutical care to align with global standards and meet societal healthcare needs.
I have published numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals and have participated in both international and local conferences. In 2024, I was awarded the TETFund Institutional-Based Research (IBR) grant for a project on developing an anticancer drug from a native herb. I have served as acting examination officer, acting head, and substantive head of department. Recently, I was appointed by the Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON) as a member of the National Technical/Mirror Committee on African Traditional Medicine.
