Current work

Research designed for real institutions.

Five active and developing projects connect doctrinal research, ethical analysis and implementation evidence to challenges in healthcare and public governance.

Project integrityStatuses, funding and external records are stated where public. Sensitive institutional work is described at programme level to preserve appropriate confidentiality.

Active protocolInfection Prevention and Control

The Economic Value of Infection Prevention and Control Interventions in Healthcare Settings

This scoping review protocol maps evidence on the economic value of infection prevention and control interventions in healthcare settings. It examines the relationship between safer care, avoidable harm and the allocation of health-system resources.

Approach

  • Arksey and O’Malley scoping-review framework and JBI guidance
  • PRISMA-ScR and PRISMA-S reporting standards
  • PRESS-informed search strategy review
  • Transparent screening, data charting and evidence mapping

EnviroSense

Integrated Environmental Monitoring, Benchmarking and Corrective Action Management System

EnviroSense is an IPAC-led digital system designed to strengthen environmental safety surveillance in healthcare facilities. It links environmental measurements to approved benchmarks, quality review, corrective action and objective verification through a closed-loop workflow.

Core workflow

Measurement → benchmark assessment → QA/QC → corrective action → verification → closure → reporting.

Phase 1 demonstrated the feasibility of monitoring HVAC and air-quality parameters, including air changes per hour, room pressure differential, airflow direction, temperature and relative humidity. Broader environmental modules remain subject to institutional validation and governance approval.

Active research streamAI and Digital Governance

Responsible AI in Healthcare and Infection Prevention

This programme investigates how artificial intelligence can support surveillance, clinical decisions and infection prevention without weakening professional judgment, patient rights or institutional accountability.

Questions under study

  • Validation, explainability and safe deployment of AI-supported tools
  • Responsibility when automated advice influences clinical or operational decisions
  • Data governance, privacy and proportionate secondary use of health data
  • Patient safety duties across developers, practitioners and healthcare institutions

Artificial Intelligence Law and Governance in Nigeria

This book examines the legal and institutional questions raised by AI-assisted decision-making in Nigeria. It connects constitutional rights, sectoral regulation and practical accountability across healthcare, financial services, legal practice and public administration. Its formal Nigerian launch is scheduled for December 2026.

Core contribution

The book advances a Standard of Reasoned Justification: a framework for testing whether an AI-influenced decision can be explained, reviewed and defended against relevant legal and ethical duties.

Developing programmeConstitutionalism and Public Policy

Legal Implementation and Institutional Reform in Borno State

This programme considers how legislative modernisation and institutional design can translate formal legal commitments into durable public practice in complex and conflict-affected settings.

Programme themes

  • Rights-centred legislative and policy development
  • Clear institutional mandates, coordination and accountability
  • Implementation design suited to local administrative realities
  • Access to justice and safeguards for affected communities

Public descriptions remain deliberately high-level where work involves confidential institutional processes or non-public materials.
