I am currently a full-time PhD researcher in law at Nottingham Law School supervised by Professor Rebecca Parry, Dr Hakan Sahin and Dr Al Menshawy. My PhD thesis is titled ‘Crypto-Assets Crypto-Businesses and the Cross-Border Insolvency Issues: A Nigerian Perspective.’ It seeks to offer an unprecedented and detailed analysis of the Nigerian perspective on cross-border insolvency issues posed by crypto-assets.

Prior to the start of my research degree, I obtained an LLB degree as well as an LLM degree in Corporate Law and Finance, both from Kingston University, London. I was subsequently, admitted as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. I chose to pursue a PhD at Nottingham Law School because of the towering academics that constitute its Centre for Business and Insolvency Law.

The supervisory team has been immensely supportive and has broadened my horizon on the intersection of crypto-assets and cross-border insolvency law. I am currently in the second year of my PhD and my great expectations of Nottingham Law School are thus far met. I intend to qualify as a barrister in the UK and become a leading academic on the intersection of law and technology.
