Her research integrates molecular tools with field-based ecology to understand and conserve genetic diversity in forest ecosystems. She focuses on how habitat, environmental differences and human activities affect the genetic variability and adaptation in plant population.

Jayeoba, F.M is currently running a Ph.D. in Plant Biology at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria, where she is studying the population structure and genetic diversity of Irvingia species in South West Nigeria. She is also committed to training the next generation of conservation scientists in the use of genomic data for biodiversity preservation.

Research Interests:

• Conservation genetics of forest species
• Population variation studies
• Biodiversity conservation studies
• And studies on molecular tools for plant conservation

Professional Memberships

• Forestry Association of Nigeria
• Genetics Society of Nigeria
• International Society for Tropical Foresters
• Commonwealth Forestry Association, Nigeria

Research Activities:

The directorate has organized outreaches to commemorate the International day of forests and World wood day, 2025. We have also coordinated the submission and processing of Technical Reports by staff. We have also reached out to notable universities and organizations for research collaborations and written research proposals for funding to various organizations, some of which are yielding positive results.  With the support of the College management and our partners, we are overseeing the running and maintenance of IMO Research and Innovation Hub, a place where researchers are provided with conducive environment for studies with adequate power supply and free internet facilities.
