About

Economist | Macro, Financial & Development Economics | Policy Advisor | Educator | Sub‑Saharan Africa Focus

I’m Musa Olanrewaju Oduola, PhD, a results-oriented economist bridging data, policy, and development across Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. My work sits at the intersection of macroeconomics, finance, technology, and sustainability—turning complex datasets into clear strategies for inclusive, export-led, and low-carbon growth.

With expertise in quantitative analysis, I harness tools like Stata, R, Python, SPSS, and EViews to decode firm- and macro-level trends. Whether advising policymakers, collaborating on research, or delivering workshops, I focus on generating actionable insights that drive impact.

I bring a blend of academic rigor, practical policy experience, and a commitment to capacity-building across emerging economies.
