I graduated in September 2014 from the federal University of Agriculture,
Abeokuta Nigeria. Majoring in Soil science and Land Management. I aim to
become a renowned lecturer and researcher in the field of soil and plant
science by furthering my education.
I am looking for a Masters graduate student position that will provide me
with international exposure and experience needed to improve the knowledge
and research on environmental and food security. With my background
knowledge in soil and plant science, coupled with my ability to work in
group and handle multiple tasks, i have gained experience from a number of
jobs enrolled in. I worked as a Graduate Assistant in the University of
Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria during the mandatory National Youth Service. I am
currently working as a Research Fellow with the International Institute of
Tropical Agriculture, Nigeria under the project; African Cassava Agronomy
Initiative (ACAI). The project exposed me grossly to the act of research
planning and budgeting, field layout and execution, manual and electronic
agronomic data collection, soil sampling and analysis, management and
analysis of data.
