Stop deceiving people in the name of generating traffic to your site. NECO exams has not been marked, the coordination starts today. Righteousness pays.

There is a need to declare state of emergency in Nigeria's educational sector.

In my opinion our educational sector needs an overhauling, these are supposed graduate. This post is not intended to make mockery of any individual but to see a need for urgent attention in the sector . below are posts made by Npower beneficiaries across some social media platform for your view.

Microbiology as we know has varied fields and majorly dealing with microorganisms. This course has high potential to generate huge income and has been well used by developed countries in food, biotech and allied industries. There are lots of microorganisms that are used in food and beverage preparation.

If you can have set of equipments to grow, isolate and extract the valuables from the bacteria, this will generate recurring incomes. Particularly, In our lab, we have grown and used 3 types of microorg that of commercial value to synthesis biomagnets and also used in microbial fuel cells.

For environmental Microbiology, you can look into any of the following that suit your interest considering the availability of equipment at your end:

modifications of the nutrients and other conditions for optimizing the bioremediation process.

Oil Biodegradation
Petroleum oil is toxic and pollution of the environment by oil causes major ecological concern. Much of the oil can be eliminated by the hydrocarbon-degrading activities of microbial communities, specifically the hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (HCB) and related microorgs.

Degradation of Aromatic Compounds by Acinetobacter
Aromatic compounds are found in various petrochemicals and pharmaceutical wastes. Acinetobacter strains isolated from the environment are capable of the degradation of a wide range of aromatic compounds.

Analysis of Waste Biotreatment
Biotreatment, the processing of wastes using living organisms, is an environmentally friendly alternative to other options. Bioreactors have been designed to overcome the various limiting factors of biotreatment processes in highly controlled systems.

Bioelectricity generation and simultaneous treatment of waste
You can check previous page where I have shown one of the hybrids MFC designed in my lab for electricity generation using microbes. A microbial fuel cell (MFC), or biological fuel cell, is a bio-electrochemical system that drives an electric current by using bacteria and mimicking bacterial interactions found in nature.

Microbial Enzymes: Production, Purification, Isolation and Commercial Utilization
Applied and Industrial microbiology uses microorganisms to produce valuable commercial products or to carry out important chemical transformations. You can read more via this link: http://www.contentextra.com/lifesciences/files/topicguides/9781447935674_LS_TG2_2.pdf

Below are some of the microorg that have been used. Best wishes as you carry on your research.

The following journals regarding environmental microbiology may be useful:

1. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/14622920

2. https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/current-opinion-in-microbiology

3. https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/research-in-microbiology

Thanks so much Prof I really appreciate. You have opened my eyes to see some certain things and also spur me up for more research.

Please encourage her. Research is like a hybrid yoga and when you go into it you won’t regret doing that.

Some of the advantages of research using myself as example:

1. I have gained both national and international accolades

2. In my current university, I received the highest salary since am paid as research professor not as teaching professor even though I teach.

3. I am also an adjunct professor to two universities in another countries where I fulfill the duties on agreed terms.

4. In terms of combined salary, due to exchange rate currently is in the range of 1.8-2.5 mill Nigerian money monthly.

5. I also get research Funding where I can do my research, attend conferences, earn extra income and pay salaries as well to research assistants etc.

6. For each academic scientific publication I made, I get paid from both the university (1200 usd per Q1 paper) and the government (200-2500usd per paper depends on quality of paper). Meaning per Paper published, I can earn between 1400-3700 usd apart from my salary.

7. I also focus more on lab-to-market, where I directly sell my products or services to the public, industries and resellers. In the past, I have sold my tank designed to recover and purify phenols from Olive mill wastewater for 6700usd per unit.
I have sold custom sensors developed in my lab to commercial farmers. Also, my disposable glucose sensors are under clinical verification after which will be customized for commercialization etc.

8. I have got to learn many things and get increasingly exposed. Research, conference and business made me to have visited 65 countries, ...my target is 120 countries anyway.

9. Fortunately am quite young and some of my Phd students are almost as old as my dad and Mum. They appreciate and respect me. That makes them learn more.

10. I feel happy providing solutions to immediate problems around me.

#NOTE: there are currently financial fundings for innovative FEMALE researchers from Africa to encourage them.

With more research we can solve our problems and provide solutions to the populace, sell our ideas and products and develop the next sustainable creations.

Prof. Wip7, Sir, I must say you're a great source of inspiration to so many upcoming scholars. The Lord bless you real good.
Please what area of research can one dive into in microbiology (especially Environmental Microbiology).
