A dedicated academic and entrepreneur with a passion for Technopreneurship and Organisational Innovation.
I hold a Ph.D. in Entrepreneurship from the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria, and serve as a Lecturer and Researcher at Edusoko University and Niger State Polytechnic, Zungeru, where I contribute to teaching, research, and curriculum development in entrepreneurship and business innovation.
My research focuses on innovation in micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), entrepreneurial marketing, technology adoption, and techno/non-technopreneurship—innovation areas critical to driving sustainable enterprise growth in developing economies.
My scholarly work seeks to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world corporate innovation by translating theoretical insights into practical, evidence-based strategies for entrepreneurs, business leaders, and policymakers.
Through my teaching, publications, and collaborations, I aim to foster an entrepreneurial mindset that promotes adaptability, creativity, and inclusive innovation. My commitment to integrating research with practice underscores my vision of entrepreneurship as a catalyst for economic transformation and social advancement in Nigeria and beyond.
