Profile

I joined the 9 1免费版下 of Sheffield in 2021. Before joining Sheffield, I taught at the 9 1免费版下 of Nottingham, Nottingham Trent 9 1免费版下 and Birmingham City 9 1免费版下.

My core research interest is in consumer law and policy. My current research projects focus on the regulatory mechanisms protecting consumers in the face of rapidly changing technology. I have also recently started looking at the linkage between consumer protection and trade governance. 

I hold a PhD in law from the 9 1免费版下 of Nottingham and an LLM (with distinction) in International Commercial Law from Cardiff 9 1免费版下. I am also a first-class graduate of the Nigerian Law School, and I have been called to the Nigerian Bar.


I have a track record of producing high-quality research. My doctoral thesis was adjudged to be of high quality, and my PhD was awarded without corrections. I have also published with reputable peer-reviewed journals, including Legal Studies, The Journal of Business Law and the Journal of African Law.

To ensure that I deliver excellent teaching and supervision, I have completed a postgraduate certificate in higher education, and I am a fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I have also completed a postgraduate research supervision course accredited by the Staff and Educational Development Association (SEDA). To improve the practical relevance of my teaching and research, I have completed an advanced certificate in regulatory compliance with the International Compliance Association (ICA).
