I am a Nigerian writer, researcher and political analyst. I am a Predoctoral Research Fellow with the International Centre for Tax and Development on the Chiefs and formal and informal taxation in Sierra Leone research project based in Freetown.

I was recently a research analyst at the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD-West Africa), where my specific focus was on election, political, security, and regional analyses in West Africa.

I previously consulted for the Tony Blair Institute at the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, actively supporting policy concerning the COVID-19 pandemic response. Before that, I was at Africapractice, where I supported multinational clients in navigating political risk. I also interned at the African Union Mission to the United Nations in New York.

I have presented papers at the Pan-African Scientific Research Conference and the European Conference of African Studies. I also provide insights and commentary as a moderator and panellist at conferences.

My research and writing have appeared in publications such as Foreign Policy, World Politics Review, Al Jazeera, Democracy in Africa, African Arguments, Africa is a Country, The Continent, Culture Custodian, Stears Business, and Premium Times as well as contributing to a report in the BMJ Global Health Journal. I have also been interviewed by Asharq, Al Jazeera, Arise Television, BBC News, CNN, Channels Television, Financial Times, Le Monde, Nikkei, Newzroom Afrika, Semafor, The Guardian, and Voice of America on issues concerning African democracy.

I have an MSc in African Politics from SOAS, University of London and a BA in International Relations from Queen Mary, University of London.

I was in the Abuja Hub of the Global Shapers Community for two years and led the Welfare and Meet the Leader teams while also co-leading the Secretariat, Elections and Salon offices. I became an alumnus in July 2024.
