His academic background, experience and research interest traverses many areas of international law, public law, and private law. Most of his research and intellectual practice focuses on Africa thematically, theoretically, and comparatively. In international law, his mainstay area in recent years has been international economic law generally. He researches on specific areas of international trade law, investment law, development law, constitutional and administrative law, and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). His doctoral work was on international economic dispute settlement, focusing on African international courts and tribunals (including international private and public arbitration). He, therefore, combines his knowledge and interest in public international law and international economic law with a strong theoretical bent towards critical approaches in international law.
