Beyond academia, he has served as a consultant to the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC), focusing on conflict and smuggling in the Nigeria–Cameroon borderlands, and to the University of West Bohemia in Czechia on displacement and insecurity in the Lake Chad region. He is also a member of Nigeria’s Technical Working Group (TWG) on Migration Governance, contributing his expertise to national policy development in the field.
