## About

```text
At Asian Institute of Technology, I lead the design and evaluation of aquaculture research projects and coordinate multidisciplinary work on animal performance, physiology, nutrition, and welfare. I also supervise research staff, postgraduate students, and field teams, and teach aquaculture nutrition and experimental design.

At Xtramile Feeds Ltd, I developed commercial fish-feed formulations and helped establish the company’s market presence. I also pioneered the development and patenting of locally produced aquaculture starter feeds and a floating fish feed machine in Nigeria. My research examines how nutrition and environmental stress affect aquatic animal health and resilience.
