My name is Taiye Fadiji.
I am fifty years (50) old, a Nigerian, with a graduate degree in Business Administration (1986) and M. Sc. in Agricultural Extension and Rural Sociology (2000). I have twenty -seven (27) years post-qualification experience (1986 - to date). During this period, I have been involved in management consultancy, staff recruitment, data gathering and analysis, feasibility studies, writing, information dissemination, editing, printing, sales and marketing, public relations, office administration and publishing. I have worked with researchers, technicians, administrative staff and junior staff alike, in a national research establishment i.e. Institute for Agricultural Research (I. A. R., Samaru) of Ahmadu Bello University (A. B. U.), Zaria, Nigeria. I am a Chief Editor ) in the employment of the above-named institute/university.
Furthermore, I have to my credit, published journal articles. I have actively produced and supervised the production of such publications as news bulletin, magazine, journals and proceedings. In addition to the foregoing, I am computer literate, and can work efficiently on both IBM and Macintosh systems - given my strong knowledge of Desk-top publishing (DTP) applications. Added to these, I have a considerable exposure on internet (world wide web) and surfing capabilities. I have created web pages with these urls:
