In my research, I focus on the interaction between illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing as a human and national security threat. My research uses the state (in)effectiveness concept to understand the pervasive nature of maritime insecurity in West and Central Africa, with Nigeria as a case study.

I have more than three years of experience in consulting for Non-profit organisations either as a research analyst, consultant or a resource person. I also have experience in curriculum development and teaching on a broad range of modules, including conflict and diplomacy, contemporary security issues, international relations history, introduction to development studies, and social and political analysis of emerging economies. My teaching is driven by high-quality research output. At King's College London, when introducing undergraduates to development or security theories, I draw on contemporary issues such as sustainable development, natural resource governance, conflict resolution and insurgency, to quickly establish personal relevance among the students. I have a preparatory Diploma in Law and a BA in International Relations, Peace and Conflict Studies from London Metropolitan University. I also have a Masters degree in Conflict, Security and Development from King's College London
