Mr Wilberforce Orlando Aduguba was appointed as an Assistant Lecturer in 2021 to the Department of Ecological Agriculture in the School of Agriculture, Bolgatanga Technical University, where he handles courses in crop science. Wilberforce was promoted to a Lecturer in 2024. His research focuses on plant breeding, molecular characterization, and treatments against fungal pathogens affecting vegetable crops. He obtained an MPhil in Biotechnology from the Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology at the University for Development Studies (UDS), Tamale-Nyankpala, in 2020. Currently, he is pursuing a PhD in Biotechnology at UDS. Aduguba has actively collaborated on multiple research initiatives with the World Vegetable Centre (WVC) in West and Central Africa. He has published extensively in his field, contributing to advancements in ecological agriculture and biotechnology.
