About
My life goal is to make original contributions to the betterment of mankind through discoveries in mathematics and its applications to other sciences, and to further promote academic diversity, and inclusivity in teaching and learning through my future position as a university faculty member. A Nigerian, I got my bachelor’s degree in mathematics at National Open University of Nigeria in Dec. 2021, started my master’s program in mathematics in Jan. 2022 at Illinois State University on scholarship. It’s a two-year program from Jan. 2022 to Dec. 2023. I am currently on a 4.00 GPA, having already fulfilled all graduation requirements apart from my ongoing master’s thesis which will span Fall 2023 semester. As a part of the effort to realize my life goal, I intend to apply to a PhD mathematics program this Fall to begin the program in Fall 2024.
