Biography

Chike joined the School of Law as a lecturer in April 2022, having previously worked as a teaching fellow. His research interests broadly lie in corporate finance law, banking regulation, and international tax law. He is the author of The Transfer of Rights in Securitisations: A Law and Economics Analysis (Eleven International Publishing). Chike also coordinates and teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the aforementioned subject areas.

Chike holds law degrees from Aberdeen University (PhD), Glasgow University (LLM), the Nigerian Law School (BL), and Madonna University Okija (LLB (Hons)). He qualified as a barrister and solicitor in Nigeria in 2012 and served as Head Legal/Company Secretary at a leading renewable energy company. In this role, he advised on multiple commercial transactions, including a major tripartite mini-grid agreement, a receivables finance agreement, and a syndicated loan agreement.

Chike is a former recipient of research grants from the Scottish Universities Law Institute and the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law. His current research examines the relationship between securitisation, bank capital rules, and climate finance.
