My work focuses on aging-related social inequalities, old age care systems, and sustainable old-age security models, employing interdisciplinary approaches that integrate social work, sociology, policy analysis, and community-based participatory research.<\/p><p>With a strong dedication to promoting dignity, equity, and social justice for aging populations, I strive to bridge academic research with real-world policy and practice &#8211; empowering communities, informing legislation, and fostering intergenerational solidarity. My research examines critical issues such as pension accessibility, retirement, age-friendly urban planning, and the social determinants of health in later life.<\/p><p>My ultimate goal is to translate evidence-based findings into scalable programs, policy recommendations, and advocacy initiatives that address the challenges of population aging, social exclusion, and economic vulnerability among older people. Through collaborative, interdisciplinary partnerships, I aim to contribute to more inclusive and sustainable aging societies, both locally and globally.<\/p><p><strong>Positions, Scientific Appointments, and Honours<\/strong><\/p><ul><li><strong>Member \u2013 <\/strong><em><strong>National Senior Citizens<\/strong><\/em><strong><em> Centre (NSCC)<\/em><\/strong><strong> \u2013 Lagos State Chapter<\/strong> <em><br \/>2019 \u2013Present<\/em><\/li><li><strong>Member \u2013 Nigeria Association of Social Workers (NASoW) Lagos State<\/strong> | <em>Ministry of Social Development, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos 2018\u2013Present<\/em><\/li><li><strong>Member, Gerontological Society of America (GSA) <\/strong><em>USA, 2023\u2013Present<\/em><\/li><li><strong>Recipient, <\/strong>Small Grants Award from CODESRIA, Dakar, Senegal for Ph.D. Thesis Writing.
