What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, encourages innovative research, and values collaboration in the energy and finance sectors.

I am an ambitious and resourceful individual with a first-class degree in Economics, specializing in energy-financial economics. My academic journey has been marked by a fervent drive to achieve remarkable results, culminating in being the overall best-graduating student at Nile University of Nigeria. I am dedicated to conducting high-quality research within the energy and finance sectors, continually seeking opportunities to expand my expertise and stay abreast of the latest developments in energy economics.

My research experience includes quantitative studies on renewable energy financing and its impact on electricity access in Nigeria, as well as qualitative analyses of fuel subsidy removal effects on households. I have presented my findings at the Nigerian/International Association for Energy Economics Annual Conference, emphasizing the need for significant investments in renewable energy and carbon sequestration projects in Africa. I am eager to apply my skills and knowledge to make impactful contributions to the field.
