I obtained my first and second Degrees at the University of Ilorin in 1985, 1997 respectively. I am presently a Doctoral student in the same University. Having worked with the kwara state teaching service commission for a number of years, I joined Al-Hikmah University service in 2009. As a lecturer in the Department of Languages, my areas of interest are Pragmatics and Discourse Analysis.
