Biography

I hold a Bachelor of Technology B Tech. degree in Urban and Regional Planning from Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi in Nigeria and a Masters’ degree MSc in Coastal and Marine Resource Management from the University of Portsmouth. I have been working with the Nigeria’s National Boundary Commission since 2003 and severally held various positions cutting across administration, research & policy analysis, interstate boundaries and maritime boundaries & geo-informatics departments. Some of the positions I held include Admin Officer II, Planning Officer I, research officer I, Senior Planning Officer and Principal Planning Officer to date. I have been appointed as the Desk Officer, Nigeria-Sao Tome & Principe maritime boundary since 2011. My current investigation is continuing to build on my previous study that looked at the sustainable management of marine resources along the Gulf of Guinea; most specifically on the applicability of applying the Transboundary Waters Programme-Large Marine Ecosystems (TWAP-LME) indicators to examine marine fishery sustainability in an area that may be referred to as an area of sub-LME scale within an identified LME. Some of teaching-related duties I have been involved in include Coastal and Marine Resource Management marine policy and conservation unit, postgraduate tutorials on the concept of Large Marine Ecosystem (LME) framework and assessment in addition to assisting the course leader in preparation of workshops, seminars and invigilating poster presentations.
