RESEARCH · POLICY · PRACTICAL DELIVERY
Food, opportunity and the institutions that connect them.
My work connects the evidence behind decisions with the people who live with their consequences.
Across research and policy practice, I examine how agricultural markets, public institutions and implementation shape everyday life in Nigeria. These are connected areas of work, grounded in documented projects, published writing and an emerging research agenda.
Food security policy in Nigeria.
Food security involves the ability of households to obtain sufficient, safe and nutritious food, alongside the systems that support production, distribution and access. My policy work connects these questions to governance, coordination and implementation.
Leading food security planning work for Benue and Plateau under SPRiNG brought together policy review, institutional analysis and stakeholder engagement. Related work in food-systems intelligence asks how evidence can make the pressures within a food system visible enough to act on.
Agricultural markets and household resilience.
Markets shape the opportunities available to producers and the conditions faced by consumers. My research agenda asks how markets and institutions absorb or transmit economic shocks, and what this means for household food security.
This is a research programme with Nigeria as its primary empirical setting. Working papers, a food-price-monitoring writing sample and related essays make the questions and the limits of the available evidence explicit.

Post-harvest labour and rural logistics.
Storage, processing, transport and sale connect crop production to household livelihoods. My preprint examines reported post-harvest labour organisation among Nigerian farm households, using 6,332 eligible household-crop records from 2,761 households in Wave 4 of the Nigeria General Household Survey Panel.
The analysis distinguishes household market distance from community measures of market conditions. Its findings are descriptive. They do not establish a causal effect, and their interpretation depends on the labour outcome, accessibility measure and geographic comparison.
Subnational planning and peacebuilding.
Food security planning has to fit the institutions and conditions of the place where it will operate. The Benue and Plateau work connects food systems with stakeholder participation, institutional responsibilities and practical routes from planning to action.
The case study records my leadership contribution and links the public reporting on the state processes. It distinguishes the delivery of a plan from claims about its longer-term effects.
Public institutions and policy delivery.
Policy also operates through the organisation of services, the quality of project execution and the tools available to the people delivering them. My experience includes municipal waste coordination, contractor oversight, civic participation and contributions to state waste planning.
Through Telleosis, I managed a digital learning component involving platform design, animation and learning content, tutor training, assessments and dashboards for tutors, school administrators and national oversight. These assignments connect institutional design with practical delivery.
