Background

About Peter Obalola

I am a finance professional specializing in fintech, blockchain, and enterprise risk management, with a strong background in banking, microfinance, audit, and control. Currently pursuing a PhD in Finance with a focus on how cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology can enhance Nigeria’s tax net and contribute to achieving a $1 trillion economy, I am passionate about leveraging emerging technologies for economic growth and financial inclusion. With an MCIB certification in microfinance and student membership in ACCA, I bring expertise in financial analysis, risk management, audit, and regulatory compliance. My experience spans banking, risk assessment, internal control, and research on exchange rates, economic growth, and international law. I am particularly interested in how decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain solutions can drive financial transparency, improve tax compliance, and optimize economic policies. As I continue my research and professional journey, I am eager to collaborate with like-minded professionals and institutions committed to innovation in finance and economic development. Let’s connect and explore opportunities to drive impactful financial transformation.
