Dr. Oladotun Larry Anifowose is a Senior Lecturer of Entrepreneurial finance and time series econometrics/ post doctoral research fellow with over a decade of teaching, research, and academic leadership experience. My research focuses on financial inclusion, inclusive growth, public finance, and development economics, with particular emphasis on Sub-Saharan Africa, BRICS, and ECOWAS countries. I have published widely on topics such as external debt, military expenditure, poverty reduction, and entrepreneurship development.
I hold a PhD in Economics, with research on the impacts of military expenditure and institutional quality on inclusive growth in BRICS countries. My academic work is strongly policy-oriented, aimed at informing sustainable development strategies, financial inclusion frameworks, and poverty alleviation initiatives across developing economies. I am also actively engaged in grant writing, curriculum development, and mentoring students in entrepreneurship and economic research.
