Over the years he has concentrated on examining various policy options that may lead to sustainable development of sub-Saharan economies. He founded an NGO think-tank , "The Vine Group USA" to explore the respective impact of variables such as political instability, quality education, gender equality on capacity building and poverty reduction processes. In addition, to correctly measure the impact of quality education overtime, he established a model elementary and secondary school, "The SMART School"in Nigeria that is comparable to any public school in New York. At the tertiary level, he believes that library restoration directly impacts quality education, to this end, his organization has provided millions of dollars worth of technological equipment, textbooks, and scholarships and grants to universities in Nigeria, Ghana, and Malawi. Professor Akintunde is a graduate of University of North Alabama, Long Island University, and The Graduate Faculty of New School University.ver menos
