We need women Professors, Surgeons, Presidents, Leaders, Directors, CEOs, Engineers, Pilots, Research Scientists...

It was through this scientific exposure that I became very focused early in my career. I mean, I developed a specific area of research interest - and have consistently advocated using biofertilizers over and above chemical fertilizers for plant health management.

My contribution will be in the areas of advancement of the teaching and the practice of quantity surveying, mentoring of the younger ones to maturity academically and professionally. I will also like to contribute my professional expertise to the attainment of sustainable national growth by advocating the use of indigenous raw construction materials because that is the only way the cost of construction can reduce drastically. Nigeria is blessed with many untapped natural and mineral resources that can be used in the production of construction materials. The use of locally sourced materials has a multiplying effect on the Economy – creation of jobs, increase in our foreign reserves and boosting of our Economy.
