Hails from Oko-Amakom, in Oshimili South Local Government Area of Delta—State, Nigeria. My personality was significantly shaped during my years at the university. I have developed analytical, communicative and organizational skills. Each lecture, seminar and examination sessions helped me develop my knowledge, enhance my perspective, allowing me to see more and clearer on today’s society by comparison with the past. More importantly, at this stage I began to naturally look
for solutions to contemporary political and developmental problems ravaging the Developing Countries.
My academic background and interest are focused on eradicating corruption, with the aim to insatiate good governance strategies in practice in the Nigerian system, with a general foundation in the nature of public policy, the public workplace, its political and legal environment, and how to propound governance policies, and development strategies for the developing Countries. My research interest is focused on governance, democracy, public administration, public policy—issues, and their effects on development, and how it has enhanced or deprived good governance in the developing Countries (Nigeria).
My previous research fields were focused on democracy and governance, public policy and administrative issues. At Undergraduate level (Igbinedion University Okada, Nigeria), my research were focused on “Democracy and Fiscal Federalism”, case study: Niger-Delta, Nigeria. My First Masters level (University of York, Uk), my research was directed towards, “Democracy and Good Governance in Nigeria: A Decade of Democratic Accountability (or Lack Thereof ).
My research, at Second Masters Level (University of Manchester, Uk) “Sham Democracy: The Menace to Good Governance in Nigeria”, is a case study carried-out as a result of the pitfalls of democratic governance in Nigeria, with critical analysis on how corruption has hindered democratic (good) governance, decline development and increased poverty. ‘The brain behind this book is as a result of the study, and ideas relating to my academic background, and the unending effort geared towards enhancing democratic (good) governance and economic development in Nigeria’.view less
