Summary of Profile

My purpose is to raise a new breed of construction professionals with environmental and social consciousness to transform the construction landscape through active research and exemplar projects for the sustainable existence of Africa. My research endeavours have focused on construction management in developing countries, and gender issues in the construction industry, with a current interest in sustainable construction. By the grace of God, I have over 75 peer reviewed articles in journals and conferences indexed on the Scopus database, a Scopus H-index of 10 and over 500 citations on the Google Scholar platform. I am a recipient of the Covenant University Chancellor’s Award for Exceptional Research in 2018. My passion for solving Africa’s developmental challenges inspired me to join the Regional Center of Expertise (RCE) Network. The mission of RCE is to drive education for sustainable development. I served as Co-chair for RCE Ogun (one of the 168 Regional Centers of Expertise in the world) between 2018 and 2019.
