Nigerian writer Seun Awogbenle bags Master’s from UK Varsity.

Seun Awogbenle, the Nigerian writer and columnist, has bagged a master’s degree from Bournemouth University in the United Kingdom.

Awogbenle completed a master’s programme in Economic Development and Emerging Markets from Bournemouth University, where he gained essential knowledge in contemporary and emerging global economic issues such as international economics, economic growth, global trade, energy transition, human capital, industrialisation and inclusive development.

The author said the programme provided him an opportunity to gain insight into the experience of functioning societies and how to adapt their key learnings for the transformation of Nigeria’s governance system.

Awogbenle said more than anything else, he saw firsthand why development must be inclusive, balanced and well-distributed.

“The ideas that have been canvassed on the programme would be valuable as we work to address some of Nigeria’s most fundamental challenges, including poverty, inequality and unemployment, and how to harness our huge human capital potential as the foundation for future prosperity.” Awogbenle said.

Hinting at a potential future in politics, Awogbenle said the programme has solidified his continuing interest in public service leadership and that he looks forward to contributing his ideas to accelerate government impact and build a more prosperous country.

Awogbenle, a Nigerian writer, public policy professional and columnist, is the author of The Urgency of Now: Why Nigeria Needs a Vision of Prosperity, Protection and Liberty.

He is a columnist on ThisDay and TheCable Newspapers. Through his writings, he reiterates his belief in the power of policy and politics to transform lives and deliver public good. His writings have earned him acknowledgement from Governors and other influential personalities.
