What I'm looking for

I'm available for Nigeria-based, international and remote assignments, subject to assignment requirements.

At Ahmadu Bello University, I teach Mathematics Education and conduct research on learning outcomes, digital learning, STEM education and AI-enabled teaching. My work includes studying how generative AI can enhance algebra performance among senior secondary students.

As Founder & Lead Research Consultant at ZED Development and Analytics Consult Ltd, I lead consultancy design and technical delivery across education, socio-economic research, MEL and environmental and social safeguards. I coordinate mixed-methods studies and provide technical oversight for socio-economic baselines, ESIA inputs and resettlement-related work.

In assignments with Advanced Integrated QUEST Engineering Limited, I contribute socio-economic research and stakeholder-engagement expertise to infrastructure, agriculture and energy projects. I have also taught mathematics in public secondary education and bring doctoral-level expertise in Mathematics Education to research, policy and development work.
