I am Tal-hatu Kolapo Hamzat (T.K.Hamzat), a gentleman with demonstrable integrity, outstanding emotional intelligence, ample soft skills, good human relation, and a role model. I am a Professor of Neurophysiotherapy at the University of Ibadan where I have spent the last 21 years of my career diligently teaching and mentoring students, carrying out cutting-edge research and rendering societal impacting community services as a passionate academic and a skilled clinical scientist with local and international recognitions. The respect I command in the national and international communities of scholars and clinicians have earned me, among others, the following honorific titles: Fellow, African Academy of Sciences (FAAS); Fellow, Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy (FNSP); Fellow, Ergonomic Society of Nigeria (FESN); Fellow, Postgraduate Physiotherapy College of Nigeria (FPPCN); and Fellow, Institute of Management Consultants (FIMC). My university education was at the prestigious University of Ibadan where I obtained the B.Sc. (with Second Class Honours, Upper division) degree in Physiotherapy in 1994; an M.Ed. (Physiology of Exercise) with a distinction grade in 1998 and as a pioneer postgraduate research student in the Department of Physiotherapy, I bagged a PhD degree in Neurological Physiotherapy in February 2001. This feat conferred on me the record-setting honour of being the first to obtain a PhD degree in Physiotherapy from any West African University. Upon bagging a doctorate, I was employed at the University of Ibadan as a Lecturer-I in Physiotherapy in 2001; promoted in October 2004 to the Senior Lecturer grade level, from where I was promoted as a high-flyer to the rank of Professor on October 1, 2009, at age 39 years, with the pace-setting record of being the first Professor of Neurophysiotherapy in Africa, and the youngest to attain a Professor of Physiotherapy status in Africa. I have taught at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in physiotherapy and medical sciences at the University of Ibadan, the University of Ghana (as a Visiting Scholar where I helped develop Ghana’s premier degree programme in physiotherapy) and the University of Maiduguri as a Visiting Professor. I have successfully supervised or co-supervised the research theses/dissertations of 25 Bachelors of Physiotherapy; 39 M.Sc. Physiotherapy; and nine PhD degree candidates, and published one hundred peer-reviewed journal articles. As a result-oriented person with bias for system-process, a problem solver who gets things done, I have been contributing to the advancement of university education system, through productive academic and administrative leadership, managing human and material resources in different capacities. These include serving a four-year term as Head of Department of Physiotherapy, Sub-Dean undergraduate, and later postgraduate, at the Faculty of Clinical Sciences for a total of four years. For three years, I served as the Hall Master of Alexander Brown Hall (the medical students hall of residence), Academic and Clinical Training Coordinator, Financial Secretary, Ibadan College of Medicine Alumni Association (ICOMAA), Chairman and Convener of several standing and ad-hoc committees and panels, University Public Orator; consistently discharging my duties within the rules, regulations and traditions of the University. My activities as a bridge-builder between the staff, students and other stakeholders in the course of my duties have been both rewarding and recognised. I have deployed my social networking and fundraising abilities, as well as productive engagement with the public and private sectors and the alumni groups, to attract funds, endowments and benefactions during my administrative leadership at the University of Ibadan, and elsewhere. These efforts have contributed to improvement in teaching, learning and service conditions within the system. I am passionate about education in general and particularly university education and this drives my contributions in the world of knowledge generation, sharing and application industry.
