Aloysius Akanngee Pam

Examination officer

Senior Lecturer

He obtained a PhD in environmental chemistry from the University of Putra, Malaysia in 2018, and 2013 and 2006, he obtained a master's degree (Environmental Chemistry) and a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the Federal Agricultural University of Nigeria, Makurdi.

His research interests/specialties are in the areas of environmental pollution monitoring and assessment and water treatment technology, with a particular focus on the application of biosorbents and nanomaterials in water treatment by exploring adsorption phenomena.

At Federal university lokoja, he teaches undergraduate and graduate  chemistry courses, and conducts research and supervises student dissertations. He is the author or co-author of several papers in international review journals.
