Adebayo Adeleke is an experienced supply chain professional with knowledge in risk management, security, geopolitics, indigenous supply chain, security, and trade. He has served for 20 years as a combat veteran in the United States Army. 

His policy briefs on supply chain, security, and other resources have been featured in the London School of Economics, the African Report, and others. His desire to provide supply chain intelligence for stakeholders to make informed decisions concerning trade and supply chain in the continent led him to start Supply Chain Africa (SCA) – the supply chain data bank for Africa.

He is the founder of the Supply Chain Research and Innovation Hub (SCRIH), a transformative initiative set up to address the intricate challenges facing supply chain management in Africa. His desire to put an end to the food security challenge in Nigeria led him to start the Nigeria Food Security Project, the most comprehensive research project addressing all facets of food insecurity in Nigeria. 

The Nigeria Food Security Project seeks to establish food security as a national priority, advocate for food security in national security policies and frameworks, promote reforms to support sustainable agricultural practices and food distribution systems, develop necessary frameworks to support building Nigeria’s food security and resilience, develop Nigeria food security and resilience index, develop food dashboards for Nigeria at national and sub-national levels, and create a living food security strategic plan for Nigeria.
