Chitzi Ogbumgbada
Chitzi Ogbumgbada is a Lecturer in Law at the University of Exeter, with a PhD in Law from the University of Strathclyde, an LLM in Oil and Gas Law from the University of Aberdeen, and an LLB from Rivers State University. His PhD thesis developed an African communitarian approach to global energy justice and demonstrated how this approach could be operationalised through international climate law and international human rights law to address renewable energy injustices.
His primary research interests lie at the intersection of international energy and environmental law and are mainly concerned with how legal obligations interact with issues like climate change, energy security, and clean energy. His current research project investigates the justice issues arising from the energy transition and how these can be conceptualised through the energy justice framework developed along African philosophy.
