Mr. MICHEAL AONDONA CHIANGI
I am a Lecturer in the Department of Law at Skyline University Nigeria, where I teach and mentor the next generation of legal minds. I hold a Master of Laws [LLM] and I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in International Law. My research focuses on international law, with particular interest in sovereignty, international terrorism, use of force, and Third World Approaches to International Law [TWAIL]. I have several peer-reviewed publications to my credit.
In addition to my academic role, I am the Lead Counsel at Triumph Attorneys & Legal Consultants, where I maintain active practice in Civil and Criminal Litigation, Appellate Advocacy, and Compliance.
My work bridges the classroom, the courtroom, and research – committed to academic excellence and justice in practice.
