Therefore, my work on issues such as substance abuse and rehabilitation, environmental safeguards, urban health, and the well-being of migrant populations provides a comprehensive framework that I find incredibly valuable. Understanding these intersecting vulnerabilities, alongside specific concerns like maternal and child health in regions such as Nigeria, enriched my perspective. Crucially, I am committed to developing strong research methodologies to underpin investigations in these vital areas. I believe that by focusing on the social dimensions of health, guided by rigorous research, I can contribute to more effective and compassionate health solutions.<\/p><p><strong>Positions, Scientific Appointments, and Honours<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Current Head of Department, Social Work.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Coordinator, Postgraduate Committee, 2021-2024<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Departmental Examination Officer, January, 2014-2018 (Sociology)<\/li><li>Departmental Examination Officer, August 2018- 2024 (Social Work)<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Federal Government Scholar- 2002<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Best Graduated Student, Department of Sociology, University of Ibadan. -2002<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Professor Onigu Otite prize for the Best Graduated Student, Department of Sociology, University of Ibadan. 2002<\/li><li>The Okediji Memorial Prize for the Best Graduated Student Department of Sociology, University of Ibadan. 2002<\/li><li><strong> Selected Most Recent Publications\/Contributions to Knowledge<\/strong><\/li><li>Oluwaseun\u00a0Addie, Kehinde F\u00a0Seun-Addie, <strong>Samuel Ojima\u00a0Adejoh<\/strong>,\u00a0Adetayo\u00a0Olorunlana.
