Extension Work in Communities

1. Empowering Entrepreneurship and Youth Self Employment Youth, Since February 2016, I have been one of the leading diamond entrepreneurs with the Glutathione establishment, Max International, USA, working with some of the finest doctors, professors and different classes of people in the US, Canada, Australia, Ghana, Nigeria, Cote D'Ivoire, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. I coach and mentor over 20,000 project partners on how to operate their business projects using the various skills of profiling, list building, prospecting, inviting, presenting, closing, following up, registering, training and mentoring. I am also a motivational speaker in a number of different business conferences across the world. I have consistently projected the idea and practice of entrepreneurship and youth self-employment as a means to curtailing unemployment with or without higher education. As part of this project, I am also an established consultant in medicine, medicinal chemistry, and toxicology with an explicit emphasis on Glutathione Enhancement via Riboceine technology and working with such experts as Prof. Douglas Harrington M.D., Clinical Associate Professor of Pathology- the University of Southern California and Pro. Gordon Crozier, MD, D.O., OB/GYN. As part of the business acumen and research ideas I have developed and created, I have worked and cross-fertilized ideas across the world - US, Canada, Australia, SA, UK, Many European countries, China, India, Dubai, Brazil, Peru, Togo, Kenya, Nigeria et and have trained over 100 medical doctors and 20 professors, some members of parliament and several other people on this health and business project. I have achieved many awards and excellences for my diligent works and leadership skills and written many non-peered reviewed scientific articles on network marketing and entrepreneurship on social media.

2. Online teaching & learning facilitator and academic innovator: Long before sakai, and before I came to the University but later expanded it when I joined the University), I had created my own website, where I provided students all lecture materials and past exam questions for them to expand their knowhow. It was also an interactive website where I interact with them and answer their questions. I created a pool of questions where they could answer and get feedbacks. The website was/is https://sites.google.com/view/drkoa/home
