Career and Professional Development: A Journey, Not a Destination

In today’s fast-paced world, building a career goes beyond simply earning a degree or securing a job.

True growth comes from continuous learning, deliberate networking, and the courage to embrace new challenges.

My journey has been a testament to this truth. As a , , and , I have come to appreciate that and is not a one-time achievement, it is a lifelong process.

Every stage of my journey, from conducting research in parasitology to teaching and mentoring students, has stretched me, sharpened my skills, and expanded my vision.

Serving as Head of Department of Biology, I have seen how leadership is not about titles but about inspiring collaboration, nurturing talent, and driving innovation.

As the Coordinator of OWSD AE-FUNAI, I have had the privilege of creating opportunities for women in STEM, partnering with the Ministry of Health for public health advocacy, and showing young women that their dreams are valid.

And in my current role as Chairman of the Ebonyi State Technical Action Committee on Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), I am reminded daily that true professional growth is tied to service, service to institutions, to communities, and to the nation.

These experiences have reinforced one lesson: career development is not just about personal success, it is about impact.

The real measure of growth lies in how much value we create for others: inspiring students to dream bigger, mentoring young professionals to take bold steps, and contributing to policies and solutions that improve lives.

To every professional and young graduate reading this, I encourage you: take ownership of your growth.

Invest in yourself, seek out mentors, say yes to opportunities, and never underestimate the power of resilience. Your journey may not always be smooth, but every step will prepare you for the greater impact you are meant to make.

Career and professional development is indeed a journey, and the world is waiting for professionals who are not just competent, but also visionary.

Let’s continue to learn, lead, and lift others as we grow together.

This is for everyone seeking for my services in career and professional development.

I see it as a call to greater service, to continue working tirelessly with my colleagues, students, and the entire university community to move our Department forward and contribute meaningfully to the growth and global visibility of our great institution.

To my colleagues in the Department of Biology, thank you for your continuous support and collaboration.

Leadership is only effective when it is collective, and together we shall achieve more.

Once again, my profound gratitude goes to our visionary Vice Chancellor and the Management team for their confidence in me.

With God’s help, I promise to serve diligently and leave lasting legacies.

When Will Nigeria Value Its Lecturers?

In Nigeria, lecturers are too often treated with ridicule by successive governments. The very people entrusted with shaping the nation’s future training doctors, engineers, scientists, leaders, and innovators are dismissed, underpaid, and ignored.

For years, the welfare of university lecturers has remained static, even as inflation keeps skyrocketing and the cost of living pushes families into hardship. While prices of food, housing, and basic necessities rise daily, lecturers’ pay and benefits have remained stagnant forcing many into debt and despair.

Yet, these same lecturers are the backbone of Nigeria’s universities. They carry the weight of research, mentorship, and knowledge transfer, often with little or no support.

Despite their meagre stipend, lecturers still carry out research and publish their findings to the world. But the reality is cruel most reputable journals charge as high as £500, $500, or more just to publish. Many resort to journals that accept payments, not because of choice, but because promotion and career progression depend on publication.

Ikegwuru. It took me seven years before I got a table and chair in my office. And I do not even want to begin with the importance of a functional university system, because at this point, my welfare is more important than lofty promises.

For years, we have been singing about the “revitalization of the university system.” Who cares? Why will they care, when the children of those in power all study overseas? Every public university in Nigeria is supposed to have a functional molecular laboratory, yet we keep “managing” without, while other countries move ahead in innovation. Ga jukwanu ese other places.

And so, the brain drain continues. The brightest minds those who could transform our economy, health system, and technology are leaving in droves. They seek greener pastures abroad, where their expertise is valued and their dignity is preserved.

One day, when our universities stand empty and our classrooms echo with silence, the government will realize the irreversible damage done to education. By then, the cost will not just be lost talent, but a generation robbed of quality learning and a nation stripped of innovation. Sometimes, I wonder if they care.

My advice to our lecturers
*Make sure you carry out research that can solve the nation's problems. Problem obodo a kaririakari.

*Do a research that will provide a product.
Research is deep learning and seeking of answers.

*Don't let your dissertation stay on your book shelf or university bookshelf after your Postgraduate studies.

*It's time to wear our gowns to the town.

Nigeria, wake up. Respect your lecturers. Invest in education. Protect the future.

Because without strong universities, there is no strong nation.

I am just a concerned citizen.

Yesterday was remarkable for me as I stepped aside as the Branch Coordinator of Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World (OWSD) in my prestigious university Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu-alike Ebonyi State Nigeria.

This is to help me carry out my duty as the new South East Coordinator of OWSD Nigeria.

The new branch coordinator of my university is Dr. Modesta Egwu-Ikechukwu.

As I handed over the baton to she and her executives, I charged them up to do more as women in science.

OWSD AEFUNAI will continue to bring visibility to our university through our numerous activities and our research impacts.

It feels good to be the Pioneer Chairperson of Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World OWSD in AEFUNAI.

In my next write up, I will breakdown my activities for the past four years.

Ebonyi State felt my impact as a STEM woman and more of my impact will be felt as the South East Coordinator of OWSD Nigeria.

Ebonyi State has salted my life beautifully.

It takes collaboration for more to be done.

📢 Just Published.

Did you know the quality of water around us can influence the spread of parasitic diseases?

In my recent research, I studied how water factors like pH, temperature, oxygen level, and depth affect snails that spread schistosomiasis in South-Eastern Nigeria.

🌊 The results? When water conditions are right, these snails multiply and increase infection risks for people—especially in rural areas.

This study offers new strategies for targeting snail control and preventing disease, especially in communities most affected.

📖 Published in the Nigerian Journal of Parasitology, Vol. 45.
Thank you to all collaborators and supporters of this work!

Blessed are all who fear the Lord
and live his way.
-- Psalm 128:1-6

Psalm 128 is a beautiful passage that speaks to the blessings and joy of living a righteous life.

Key Points
- The psalm describes the happiness and prosperity of those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways (v. 1-2).

- It paints a picture of a blessed family, with a fruitful wife and children who are like olive shoots around the table (v. 3).

- The psalm concludes by expressing confidence in the Lord's blessing and prosperity for those who fear Him and live righteously (v. 4-6).

Reflection
Psalm 128 reminds us that true happiness and fulfillment come from living a life that honors God.

It encourages us to prioritize our relationship with Him and to walk in His ways.

The imagery of the fruitful wife and children is a powerful reminder of the importance of family and the blessings that come from living a life of faith.

Application
- Reflect on your own life and consider how you can prioritize your relationship with God.

- Think about how you can cultivate a sense of gratitude and joy in your daily life.

- Consider how you can support and encourage those around you, particularly your family and loved ones.

Happy Sunday beautiful family. One love 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕
