Olabisi Olapoju
@olabisiolapoju
I’m a Senior Lecturer who turns geographic research into well-documented, actionable data.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented and highly organized professional with experience in data collection, documentation, administrative coordination, academic research, and information management.
At Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, I’ve progressed from Assistant Lecturer (2014–2017) to Lecturer I (2017–2020), and I’m currently serving as Senior Lecturer (2020–Present). My work centers on turning structured research and field inputs into clear, credible outputs.
I’m skilled in data entry, record keeping, spreadsheet management, statistical data handling, report preparation, and database organization. I also coordinate data collection and field surveys, conduct internet research and information retrieval, and support teaching through course development and marking facilitation.
Beyond academia, I’ve served as an Enumeration Officer with the National Population Commission (2006) and as Electoral Ad-hoc Staff with INEC (2011–2023). These roles strengthened my information accuracy, coordination, and team collaboration—skills I bring to every research and administrative responsibility.
