Brief Summary: The SUCCEED Africa project is about co-producing the design and evaluation of community-based interventions for people living with psychosis in Africa. This is a 6-year research programme consortium grant to build evidence on “What Works” for psychosocial disabilities in four countries (Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe and Malawi). The programme, which began in May 2020 has three distinct work streams; Research, Capacity-building and Uptake. The aim is to develop an evidence-based package of multi-sectoral care and support (“enhanced CBR”) for people with psychosocial disabilities that is feasible, acceptable and appropriate for low-resource, community-based settings. Another aim is to generate new knowledge on co-production for mental health research in LMICs by modelling best practice in disability inclusion, addressing attitudinal barriers among key stakeholders, and building the capacity of “experts by experience” to engage meaningfully in mental health research and policy.

Other Interest/Hobbies

I enjoy singing, dancing and playing the guitar. I worked with my family (husband and children) and together we produced two CDs based on songs in Yoruba language composed by my husband, Professor Akinyinka Omigbodun (a former Provost of the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, a former President of the West African College of Surgeons) and songs in English composed by my son, Akinyinka Omigbodun PhD. I also composed three children’s songs which are included in one of the CDs. Together with my daughter Iyeyinka we all sang together on the first CD titled, “Love Never fails”, and her husband Dr. Kwabena Kusi-Mensah joined in singing along for the second CD production titled, ALAAFIA.

I also co-authored a book titled: “A Gift of Sequins: Letters to My wife” https://www.facebook.com/BooksellersNG/posts/a-gift-of-sequins-letters-to-my-wife-by-victor-banjo-and-olayinka-omigbodun-is-a/1611071132485663/ with my father, Lieutenant Colonel Victor Adebukunola Banjo (1930 – 1967). This book consists of his prison letters written to my mother, Mrs Taiwo Joyce Banjo nee George. I wrote a prologue and epilogue to put the letters in context. This book was published in 2007, forty years after my father died.

I am the Superintendent of the Children’s Department at my local Church where I enjoy teaching children to sing.
