Background

Analyst. Developer.
Researcher.

I am an Economist and Financial Analyst with an MSc in Monetary and Banking Economics, combining rigorous quantitative skills with hands-on business development and investment advisory experience. My work spans financial modelling, macroeconomic analysis, trade policy, and strategic market development across African markets.

Currently, I lead business development at Offiiss Ltd — a logistics technology platform — while building Najoy Consulting Firm, delivering financial analysis, startup financial models, and investment research. My career is defined by the ability to move fluidly between deep analytical work and high-level stakeholder engagement.

As a former Lead Research & Policy Analyst at GITFiC (2024–2025), I produced policy frameworks accepted by the Office of the President of Ghana and contributed to continental trade and debt architecture debates. Independently, I created the African Sovereignty Index — a first-of-its-kind quantitative framework published on Zenodo.

African Sovereignty Index
A Landmark Framework

Africa holds 30% of the world's mineral reserves yet accounts for less than 3% of global GDP. This paper introduces the African Sovereignty Index (ASI) — the first composite longitudinal quantitative framework measuring economic sovereignty across 20 African states from 2000–2024, built within the tradition of Nkrumah, Rodney, and Amin and tested with 500 country-year observations.

The ASI produces precise, country-specific, dimension-targeted policy prescriptions — changing the terms of the African development debate from vague governance prescriptions to specific, quantifiable, actionable sovereignty restoration.

"CFA franc states average an ASI of 56.2 vs 76.2 for non-CFA states — a 20-point sovereignty gap sustained across 25 years. The debate about CFA franc reform is not a monetary policy technicality. It is a debate about whether 14 African states will recover 20 points of sovereignty."
