Tunde DECKER B.A. (Hons.), M.A., MILD, Ph.D.
Emails: ,
Tunde Decker holds a Ph.D. in History and Strategic Studies from the University of Lagos, Nigeria and is Associate Professor in the Department of History and International Studies Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria where he is currently Acting Head. He is interested in social history - of poverty in colonial and post-colonial periods and of underdogs in urban and historical contexts. Before joining the academia, he has had a decade-long stint in the media, covering Nigeria’s aviation industry and (while Deputy Manager Media with JSP Communications Consultancy in Lagos) managing the public relations accounts of Coca-Cola Nigeria Limited, Nigerian Bottling Company, PZ Nigeria, Ashoka, HOPE Worldwide Nigeria and Honeywell Flour Mills. He was former Conservation Manager Media and Public Affairs of the Nigerian Conservation Foundation.
Research interests/Specialisation:
Social History - of poverty in colonial and post-colonial periods and of underdogs in urban and historical contexts. African History, Aviation History, International Relations, Environmental Conservation.
Contribution to knowledge:
He has added to the knowledge of poverty in colonial Lagos and has consistently written on this phenomenon, focusing on the often-neglected aspects of socio-economic history in the colonial period. His doctoral dissertation A History of the Poor in Lagos, 1861 - 1960 was the first dissertation in the History and Strategic Studies department at the University of Lagos that examined the historical evolution of the poor in colonial Lagos and continues to inspire other dissertations that interrogate the downtrodden in colonial and post-colonial Nigeria. He has widened the extent to which poverty in pre and postcolonial Nigeria speaks to wider issues such as nationalism, social integration, African development, foreign policy, culture and social service philosophy. He is the first Nigerian historian to write a book on the Nigerian aviation industry – an industry that has been direly neglected in historical, business, transport and tourism studies in Nigeria. The book was used to design the teaching curriculum for students of Air Transport at the Aviation Training Institute formerly at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Nigeria, and has been a reference document for some PhD candidates researching Nigeria’s air transport industry in Nigerian universities, in Yale, Harvard and the University of Huddersfield, United Kingdom. It currently serves as study guide for air transport practitioners at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and the Skypower Aviation Handling Company Limited (SAHCOL).
