Dr. Folashayo Ikenna Peter ADENIJI is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Health Policy and Management, Faculty of Public Health, University of Ibadan. He is a health economist and policy scholar whose work focuses on the economic dimensions of tobacco control, health financing, and health systems strengthening in Nigeria and across sub-Saharan Africa.
Dr. Adeniji holds a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) in Educational Management and Economics (2008), a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Economics (2012), and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Economics with a specialization in Health Economics (2021), all from the University of Ibadan. His doctoral training was supported by the prestigious Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa (CARTA) Fellowship Award (2017/2018), which facilitated his growth as a leading researcher in health economics.
He was appointed Lecturer II at the University of Ibadan in January 2015 and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in October 2021. His teaching portfolio encompasses both undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including Principles of Health Policy and Health Services Management, Health Economics, Human Resource Management for Health Care Organisations, and The Politics of Health Policy. He has also served as Assistant Postgraduate Coordinator and as a member of several departmental and faculty committees, contributing significantly to curriculum development and academic governance.
Dr. Adeniji's research is internationally recognized, with a strong focus on the economics of tobacco control, out-of-pocket health expenditures, catastrophic health spending, and the impact of digital financial services on health program outcomes. He has published over twenty-five peer-reviewed journal articles, with contributions to leading journals such as BMJ Open, PLOS One, BMC Health Services Research, and BMJ Global Health. His work on the burden of out-of-pocket payments among cardiovascular patients and the economic impact of tobacco consumption has informed policy discussions both nationally and globally.
Beyond the university, Dr. Adeniji has served as a WHO National Consultant on Tobacco Prices and Tax Data and currently holds research affiliations with Georgia State University in the United States, the Public Health & Equity Research Center, and the Centre for the Study of African Economies (CSEA) in Abuja.
