Michael Okafor

Michael Okafor moved to Britain from Nigeria in his twenties and built his career around research, community policy work, and international affairs writing. Before becoming a full-time writer, he worked with migrant support organisations and later contributed to policy notes on trade, labour markets, development, and public services. He brings a practical international perspective to British politics. His writing often asks how global pressures — migration, trade, conflict, inflation, climate risk, and labour demand — become domestic political issues in the UK. He avoids treating communities as symbols and prefers careful explanation over dramatic framing. At London Politics, Michael writes on global affairs, economic affairs, society, and the public consequences of international change.
