Professor Ozeboโs professional career spans more than three decades of teaching, research, mentorship, and community service. A distinguished Professor of Solid Earth Physics, he has supervised six doctoral graduates, twenty-three masterโs graduates, and numerous undergraduate students. He has also contributed significantly to scientific scholarship through 57 publications in national and international journals.
His appointment is not merely a personal accomplishment; it is an inspiring reminder to every student that the lecture halls in which they learn today may become the institutions they are called upon to lead tomorrow.
The Nigerian Society of Physical Sciences is confident that Professor Ozeboโs wealth of experience, scholarly distinction, commitment to mentorship, and passion for advancing physics will strengthen the department, promote impactful research, and inspire a new generation of scientists.
