Welcome to my website!

I am a PhD candidate in Political Science at Tulane University. I hold an MS in Politics and Public Policy from Sciences Po, Paris, France, an MA in Political Science from Tulane University, and a BS in Political Science from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. My research addresses questions at the intersection of politics and public policy. My dissertation project focuses on anti-corruption efforts, with a special attention on how political and institutional contexts shape the investigation and prosecution of corruption cases.

My broader research agenda spans comparative politics, African political economy, and public policy, with a regional focus on Nigeria and Africa. I work extensively with original and administrative data on corruption prosecutions, public opinion, political behavior, and governance outcomes, alongside, interviews, archival, and survey data. My works have been published in peer-reviewed journals including Policy & Internet, Protest, World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, and GSC Advanced Research and Reviews.
