Biography

I'm a Senior lecturer in the Department of Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Microbiology, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Nigeria with area of specialization in Bacteriology and Antimicrobial Resistance. I have good knowledge of molecular characterization of bacteria of food, water and pharmaceuticals and profiling their resistance patterns to antimicrobial agents. I have published in many reputable journals both locally and internationally, in my specialized field of study.
