Profile

 

My dissertation examines the efforts of the Rockefeller Foundation in public health history of Nigeria. And this work which cuts across colonial and postcolonial history looks at international health history from Nigerian perspective. I bagged first and master’s degree in African history from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Aside thesis, I write and speak on African football. I am fluent in Yoruba, English, West African Pidgin, and the basics of French - though I am presently working on my French.
