Athletics

Before Academia: International Sprinter

Before pursuing an academic career, I competed internationally as a sprinter for Nigeria. I specialised in the 100m and 200m, recording personal bests of 10.40 seconds in the 100m and 21.03 seconds in the 200m — performances that placed me among Nigeria's competitive international athletes. 

Athletics taught me discipline, resilience, and the value of sustained effort under pressure — qualities I have carried into my research career.
