Simbo Olorunfemi to join the Panel Discussion on Trump and Nigeria, November 16, 2025

Simbo Olorunfemi has emerged as one of the most important thought leaders on politics and governance in Nigeria. He has, through the years and in very many articles and sundry commentaries, ranging from the economy to development, international relations and partisan politics, consistently applied rigour, deep thought and scientific discipline to his analysis of the people, the events and the policies that have shaped these issues, and the societies and publics that they impact.
His projections on political outcomes are eerily accurate, and his prescriptions are practical and clearly thought through, even if controversial.”
- Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President (2015-2023)
A specialist in Nigeria’s Foreign policy, Simbo is a PhD Candidate at the University of Lagos, where he obtained Masters degrees in International Law & Diplomacy and Political Science, specialising in international relations.
With 10 published books, he was runner-up for TV Producer of the Year, Nigerian Media Merit Awards 1991, and the 1993 ANA Prize for his first book, winning the ANA/CADBURY PRIZE 2004 for “Eko Ree – The Many Faces of Lagos”.
A member of the Advertising Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON) and the Project Management Institute, he has over three decades of experience in projects and strategic communications. He is Team Lead at HoofbeatDotCom and Managing Editor, Africa Enterprise.
