He proceeded to earn a Bachelor of Education (Science) from the University of Benin in 1983 and later obtained a Master of Science in Physics from the University of Ibadan in 1988. He crowned his academic pursuits with a PhD in Physics from the University of Benin in 2008.
He joined AAUA in 2000 as an Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Physics and Electronics and rose steadily through the ranks to become a Professor in 2019. His service to the institution spans various academic and administrative roles, including two terms as Head of the Department of Physics and Electronics. He also served as Acting Head of the Departments of Computer Science and Mathematical Sciences, Coordinator of the Departmental Undergraduate Programme, and Faculty of Science Representative on the Institute of Education Promotion and Board of Studies.
A prolific scholar, Prof. Abajingin has authored four books and 32 journal articles, with four additional papers underway. His research engagements have taken him to academic conferences both within and outside Nigeria, including Ghana and South Korea.
He is a member of several professional bodies such as the Nigerian Association of Mathematical Physics, the Ghana Society of Science, the Society of Computational and Experimental Science and Engineering, and the Nigerian Institute of Physics.
The University community and the general public are expected to attend what promises to be an insightful and impactful academic event.
