Profile

I joined ScHARR in March 2013 as a University Teacher in Health Systems and Management.

I graduated with MB, BS in 2002 from Ahmadu Bello University Zaria in Nigeria and worked for just over 2 years as a clinician in four different hospitals in Nigeria before starting my career in public health in 2004. I have completed the WHO international course on malaria control at Adama in Ethiopia and MPH with distinction from ScHARR here at University of Sheffield in 2007.

I have worked in different roles and organisations including the Federal Ministry of Health in Nigeria, Pathfinder International and World Health Organisation.

Research interests

My research interests are in the areas health policy and systems where I draw on my doctoral research and extensive experience working in this area in Nigeria and West Africa providing technical assistance to government officials at all levels in implementing strategies to strengthen health systems and deliver disease prevention and control programs.
