As an academic staff, I mentor and prepare younger colleagues for professional challenges and accomplishments. I have carried out various researches on Librarianship which contributes significantly to knowledge. I have published 28 papers in peer-reviewed journal articles. Some of my articles are published in foreign journals with impact factors. I am a member of professional bodies at the National and State levels. I have also attended several seminars/workshops/conferences to broaden my knowledge. My research work has largely focused on library management/administration and information needs and sources.
