She was awarded the status of a Fellow of the Animal Science Association of Nigeria (ASAN) in September 2010. Quotes Nigeria spent 18 million dollars on chicken importation in 2009 alone. If the government spends half of that money on developing local breeds; imagine what that will translate to. Speaking at the presentation of Certificate of Registration for FUNAAB Alpha (28 August 2018) Tissue Culture Laboratory alone could truly supply plants to millions of farmers, if we really invest into plant tissue culture and micro-propagation,” Speaking on achievements and activities of FUNAAB's Biotechnology Centre “With the funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, we now have the white, black, brown, and the ash-line of the indigenous breed. There are also two mid-lines, which has 25 or 75 percent local blood. They are meat-lines; they are bigger with tougher meat than the imported stock. We can hardly meet the request of our customers here, and other Universities have been taking our stocks." Professor Adebambo giving an update on the indigenous poultry breed at FUNAAB While other countries are talking of electricity-powered vehicles, driverless trucks, and 200miles per hour trains, we are still battling with narrow gauge rail lines and Never Expect Power Always (NEPA), or Hold on your Power (Power Holding). One of the major problems of Nigeria (24 April 2019) I am different from you because of my genetic makeup. You need to know your genotype yourself, to enable you to know the type of food you can eat and those you cannot eat or whether you are carrying genetic diseases FUNAAB’s Biotechnology Centre was fully equipped to provide an array of services that border on Animal Biotechnology, Plant Biotechnology, Protein Analysis, Bio-informatics, among others External links Category:Geneticists Category:Living people Category:Women scientists from Nigeria Category:Women academics from Nigeria
