My research focuses on the legitimacy of multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) implementing sustainable development actions in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). I am specifically interested in the inclusion and participation of non-state stakeholders located in SSA in MSPs. Broadly, my research examines Sustainability governance and MSPs implementation in Sub-Saharan Africa.
I am a Fellow of the Earth System Governance project, co-authored academic articles, and presented papers at conferences.
Before joining IVM as an external Ph.D. researcher, I worked as an independent consultant, providing research services to projects implemented and funded by public and private actors including, international organizations in Nigeria. Specifically, I was involved in the monitoring and evaluation of the MDGs implementation in Nigeria. I am also the co-founder of a young research firm, Anvil Research Centre, Abuja, Nigeria. Previously, I was a research intern at the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM).
I am Nigerian and studied Diplomacy, Law & Global Change at Coventry University, Coventry, United Kingdom.
