Current Research
Her doctoral research examines de-risking mechanisms for green transitions in Nigeria — specifically how public financial institutions, blended finance instruments, and green taxonomy frameworks can redirect private capital toward low-carbon infrastructure while managing macro-financial instability in commodity-dependent economies.
The work sits at the intersection of heterodox macroeconomics, climate policy, and development finance, drawing on econometric methods alongside political economy analysis.
