Job Description

My research interest has been on improving the actor through the discovery of modern techniques and the rethinking of conventional styles. By so doing, it will become natural in the near future to build our own African Narratives without relying on western canons. I utilize every opportunity to make students understand and appreciate the need to be equipped in theory and practice in order to be able to compete favorably in the entertainment industry which has become one of the highest employers of labour and platform for entrepreneurship.

Research Interests

"Film Narrative Techniques in Nollywood Stage and Film Production Aesthetics"
