National Stadium Lagos Nigeria has led him to work with athletes at the 2007 Lagos BG Triathlon,

Related research
My research is focused on the problems of Sports and exercise Medicine in the sub Saharan African
region. I am currently researching the quality of Health services for Special Olympics athletes in the
Surulere area of Lagos Nigeria. This involves questioning not only the tangible aspects of the service
but also reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy towards athletes in this underserved
population.

I am particularly interested in thinking about how the existing sports medicine infrastructure in Sub
Saharan Africa will serve the growing demand for high quality sports and exercise medicine services
and the potential for more market based methods of developing and sustaining the development of the
practice in the sub-Saharan African region. I am also working on research related to the promotion of
physical activity to reduce the burden of non communicable chronic diseases in Africa.

I realize the rapid development of the specialty in the region depends in a large part on “standing on
the shoulders” of sports and exercise medicine clinicians and scientists in Africa and the rest of the
world. Thus I am actively seeking collaborative research projects and pursing the transfer of
knowledge to develop infrastructure in Sports and exercise medicine in the region.
