Onimisi A. Martins

Senior lecturer

I completed a BSc in Geology and MSc in Mineral Exploration (Geophysics option) at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and obtained a PhD in Geology and Mining from Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Nigeria. I was on the academic board of the Department of Earth Sciences, Kogi State University, Nigeria (2002 -2017), I was a Visiting Lecturer in the Department of Geology at Salem University, Lokoja, Nigeria (2015 -2017).  I was a Senior Lecturer and acting Head of Mining Engineering Department at the School of Mining and Geology, University of Rwanda (2018 – 2020). I am presently on the academic board of the Department of Geology of  the Federal University, Lokoja, Nigeria.
