My career focuses on the nexus of health economics, development, demography and macroeconomic analysis. Through extensive lecturing roles and collaborative research, I have engaged across Nigeria\u2019s academic landscape\u2014from mainstream universities to distance learning and nursing programs\u2014demonstrating my commitment to knowledge dissemination and community impact. <br>I have authored numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals, tackling pressing issues like population dynamics, healthcare financing, globalisation, and economic resilience. I have received multiple academic awards and fellowships, including best thesis recognitions and international research grants. My research strives to shape policy and empower households in health-related economic decision-making, while mentoring the next generation of African economists. My ultimate goal is to translate empirical research into practical development strategies that enhance institutional capacity, improve health outcomes, reduce poverty, and promote sustainable development across the African continent and the globe as a whole.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Positions Held, Scientific Appointments, and Honours<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Positions Held, Scientific Appointments, and Honours<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&nbsp;Lecturer I, Department of Economics, University of Lagos, Nigeria (2020 \u2013 Present)<\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;Adjunct Faculty (2008 \u2013 Present):<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Department of Economics, Distance Learning Institute, UNILAG (2009\u20132024)<\/p>\n<p>Department of Nursing Sciences, Trinity University, Lagos (2021\u20132024)<\/p>\n<p>Institute of Continuing Education, UNILAG (2015\u20132023)<\/p>\n<p>National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) (2009 \u2013 2022)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>External Examiner &amp; Facilitator, National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Abuja &amp; Lagos (2016\u20132024) <br>\u2022 &nbsp;Leadership &amp; Service Roles:<\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;Acting Head of Department, Economics, Christopher University, Mowe (2017\u20132018)<\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;Board Member, Anchor University Services Ltd (2020\u20132023)<\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;Member, Welfare Committee &amp; Finance\/Investment Committee, University of Lagos (2022\u20132023)<\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;Class Representative, M.Sc. and Ph.D. Economics, UNILAG (2006\u20132015)<\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;Chairman, Ph.D. Students Forum, Henry Carr PG Hall, UNILAG (2010\u20132012)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b> <\/b> <strong><b>Academic Honours and Awards<\/b><\/strong>:<\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;Best Ph.D. Thesis in Public Finance &amp; Economics, University of Lagos (2017):<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh Academic Prize (2017)<\/p>\n<p>Chief T.
