Currently serving as a faculty member in the Department of Political Sciences and International Relations at Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria, with conveyance of wealth of knowledge and expertise to the academic community. Earned his Ph.D. (with specialisation in Local Government and Development Studies) from a prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Nigeria, his research focused is on the intersection of governance, democracy, and development in Africa. His doctoral thesis, acclaimed for its originality and depth of analysis, explored the dynamics of state-building and democratisation processes in post-colonial African societies vis-à-vis Information and Communication Technology (ICT), shedding light on the challenges and prospects of political transformation on the continent.
In addition to his academic pursuits, he has actively participated in scholarly conferences and seminars, where I present my research findings and engage in interdisciplinary dialogue with fellow scholars. His scholarly publications, including peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and research monographs, have made significant contributions to the advancement of political science scholarship, particularly in the areas of governance, democratisation, and public policy analysis in developing countries on a comparative basis and focus on grassroots development.
