Research Focus

My research focus is on aquatic resources in bridging the existing gap in the use of wild animals as the focal point in the development and management of tourism in protected areas, to produce a checklist of resources of ecotouristic importance in order to enhance and promote aquatic tourism in Nigeria and beyond. Assessment of the abundance, diversity of aquatic fauna across water bodies is being done to ensure their sustainability and conservation efforts. Determination of the sectoral tourism preferences and participation types by tourists to protected areas is also of concern. Effective tourism planning and development is identified as pre-requisite to sustainable management of the industry. Promotion, awareness creation, social and psychological importance of recreational fisheries and related activities that has gradually faded away in our society because of socio-economic situation and living standards in Nigeria and beyond are being done. Also, diversifying use of biodiversity resources, their administration and management are of paramount consideration.
