    Chemical studies on the deterioration of palm oil
    (Department of Chemistry, Obafemi Awolowo University., 1983) OKIY, Dere Arubore
    The work reported in this thesis is on the chemical changes which take place when palm oil is subjected to thermal deterioration and the effect on the nutritional value of leaf protein. The state of deteriorated palm oil on the nutritional value of leaf protein as determined by PER, BV, NPU and TD were examined; this was not worse than diets without the oil samples.

    Purification and characterization of Arginase from the liver of land Tortoise.
    (Department of Biochemistry Obafemi Awolowo University, 2011) OKONJI Raphael Emuebie
    The study of the Physicochemical, catalytic, structural and immunological characteristics of arginase from tortoise, a uricotelic organism was undertaken in order to provide information which would demonstrate the differences between the ureotelic and uricotelic arginases. In conclusion, tortoise liver arginase was similar to those of uricotelics in terms of kinetic and physicochemical properties. The physiological role of the enzyme in uricotelics involved the conversion of ornithine to proline and glutamate

    Capability development in adopting active technology transfer strategy in Nigeria Industries.
    (Department of Technology Management, Falculty of Technology, Obafemi Awolowo University., 1998) Ephraim Chukwuma OKEJIRI
    The main technology acquisition strategy of most developing countries including Nigerian is based on the concept of technology transfer which emphasizes importation of production technology. This development strategy which emerged post second world war era had roots in the revolutionary theory of social change.
