Researcher and Digital Innovator
I help organizations transition from fragmented legacy environments to resilient, data-driven operating models.
Bridging the gap between Executive Strategy and Advanced Technology.
I don't just manage IT; I engineer organizational viability. Here is the specific value I bring to the executive table.
Proven track record of cutting annual internet expenditure by 50% while expanding network capacity by over 200% through strategic negotiation.
Successfully secured multi-million Naira technology funding to facilitate computing hubs, improving institutional research capacity and connectivity.
Expertise in aligning technology strategy with core business priorities, ensuring regulatory compliance, and strengthening organizational memory.
Most governance failures are not failures of will. They are failures of memory — specifically, the kind of forgetting that gets built into digital infrastructure before anyone thinks to question it. The Theory of Infrastructural Forgetting (TIF) is my answer to that problem. It proposes that silence in sociotechnical systems is not an absence but a product — structurally manufactured, historically layered, and remarkably difficult to see from inside the system doing the forgetting. DEJM, RVSM, and the CVD Index grew out of this proposition. They are not companion papers. They are tools for a different kind of institutional autopsy — one conducted on systems that are still running.

The framework operationalises epistemic justice through the Tacit Score Index (TSI) — a metric that detects how historically accurate narratives are quietly weaponized inside trusted digital micro-publics such as WhatsApp and Telegram groups. The Digital Epistemic Justice Monitor (DEJM) is the live governance platform built to surface these dynamics, visualise narrative asymmetry, and equip communities with the evidence to reflect, contest, and rebalance — without suppressing any voice.

A real-time governance instrument that detects and visualises narrative asymmetry in community digital spaces, operationalising the Tacit Score Index (TSI = Cw × Ts × Ar). Field site: Mubi North, Adamawa State, Nigeria.
Introducing the Adaptive Viable System Model (AVSM), which reconceives institutional memory as active infrastructure — deploying System D to filter paradigm-threatening anomalies and System R for performative regeneration to restore organisational viability.
A diagnostic lens for memory loss in digital governance: Procedural, Relational, Epistemic, and Structural forgetting in sociotechnical systems — the empirical groundwork for TIF.
