Nigerian emerges 2nd in a Competition Organized in University of Oxford, UK

Another young Nigerian, Tosin Durodola, has made us proud by emerging 2nd in a thesis competition organized by the University of Oxford, UK.

The young scholar who in August was appointed special assistant on digital communications to Kayode Fayemi, governor of Ekiti state, beat a strong shortlist of 10 others from universities in Europe, Asia, and other African countries to emerge the 2nd position.

According to Cable’s report, Mary Bosworth, director of the Centre for Criminology and Border Criminologies, University of Oxford, disclosed it on Thursday.

Durodola’s award-winning thesis is titled: ‘Narratives of the Journey to Exile and Transformative Agency of Residual Liberian Refugees in Oru, Southwestern Nigeria‘.

The award, which attracts £200 and £100 worth of Routledge books, was put together by Routledge and Oxford University’s Centre for Criminology and Border Criminologies. 

It aims to support early career researchers working on citizenship, migration, and the intersections between border controls and criminal justice.

Tiphaine Le Corre from the University of Oxford won first place with the thesis titled: ‘The Politics of Deterring Unwanted Immigration to the United Kingdom’.
