My research interest is in Surfactants, Micelles, solubilization of substrate, Electrostatic and hydrophobic interaction in micellar system, Kinetics and mechanism of micellar catalysis. I am also interested in Kinetics and mechanism within inorganic and organometallic chemistry, homogenous catalysis and redox reactions. I am a member of the Chemical Society of Nigeria, Science Forum of the commonwealth of the Bahamas, and New York Academy of Science.[/geek_about_section][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row enable_full_screen=”yes” enable_padding=”yes” enable_overlay_bg=”yes” el_id=”education” el_class=”skill-section” css=”.vc_custom_1583498850325{background-color: #f9f9f9 !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″][geek_custom_title title_page=”Education” custom_title_color=”#2d3038″ text_position=”left”][vc_column_text]
