106:(ICWES) held in Cambridge in 1967, to present her research as it related to Nigeria's broader imperatives for national development. Her paper "Application of Physics to Some Economic problems in Nigeria" was presented in the second part of the conference âFood Enough For Everyoneâ which addressed the growing international food supply crisis then arising from rapid global population growth. Spelling out Nigerian government policy that the key to greater food supply was increased overall national wealth, she pointed to Nigeriaâs mineral resources as a means to generate the necessary industrialisation. Adegbohungbe thus explained how her expertise in magnetometers could be deployed to locate iron ore for future mining projects. She concluded: "Nigerian scientists, therefore, must make their own contributions in their various fields of learning and research, to the economic progress of the country."

University of Ibadan physicist, Alfred Olu Agunloye. In 1977 she produced two solo papers, later collaborating in 1992 with John A Sogade a recent Ibadan physics PhD student, later a geophysicist at M.I.T.

Her first on geophysical publication as a graduate student in 1967 was under her birth name
Adegbohungbe and concerned a twoâcomponent proton precession magnetometer specifically to be used in the equatorial zone, i.e. in the African regions including Nigeria. All her subsequent writings (from 1972)
