He is currently a senior lecturer, postgraduate research/knowledge exchange coordinator and postgraduate programme leader where his primary focus is providing leadership in teaching, assessment, research, undergraduate, masters, and PhD supervision. Ike鈥檚 duties also include document drafting, development, and regulatory compliance to meet organizational goals.

As a recipient of various scholarship awards, including full and partial study grants, he has obtained several advanced academic degrees and professional certifications in Nigeria, United Kingdom, and the United States. During his studies in the United States, Ike was a recipient of the prestigious Cali Excellence for the Future Award and Book Award for outstanding performance in Rule of Law (American Context). More recently, he has benefitted from study grants for short courses on global biodiversity framework, sustainable development, and the law from the University of Cambridge.

Ike鈥檚 teaching and research experiences cut across three interrelated themes. These are emerging technologies, finance, and sustainability. More specifically, he specializes in the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and the Law with insights that cut across artificial intelligence law, regulation, governance, ethics, securities, fintech, cloud computing, and cyber-security law. His work pursues the adoption of functional contextualist frameworks in addressing fundamental and structural misalignments in governance architectures across legal, institutional, cultural, and power structures as they relate to emerging technologies, finance, and sustainability issues. Ike鈥檚 research activities have supported consultancies with several organizations including the Ministry of Communication and Orientation - Edo State Government, Schools Management Board - Edo State Government, and Africase Attorneys (a Legal 500 and Chambers UK listed top tier International Business Law firm in Africa). Within this area of specialty, Ike has successfully produced several masters and PhD graduates. He currently supervises some PhD students and welcomes more applications.
