Yusuf Sulayman

Yusuf is a lawyer with over 10 years of experience teaching and practicing in Nigeria. He has also worked for non-profits, especially in the education and policy spaces to provide sustainable and replicable solutions to challenging issues that affect mostly the underprivileged members of society. He has authored and published several scholarly papers that are well-read and cited. He is currently a third-year PhD researcher at the University of Portsmouth, UK. His research focuses on constitutionalism and human rights, especially as it relates to the empirical assessment of the working of courts in Nigeria. His thesis challenges the existing order of assessing judicial independence by shifting attention to the role of normative social influence on institutions and how the attitude of courts affects the rights of litigants. He loves to explore new creative ideas and visits the beach for leisure.
