🌹A warm welcome to you for taking the time to visit my profile.


Without much ado, I am an Economist, a teacher par excellence, a prolific researcher, a great storyteller, and a passionate humanitarian actor who believes in a sustainable and peaceful world.


I understand that one must possess value to be able to give value so I made constant learning and upskilling my hipper cousin. I am a certified project manager with a proficiency certificate in management from the reputable Nigerian Institute of Management (Chartered). 


To enable me to engender my community and offer the best values in assisting the vulnerable, displaced persons, sexual and gender-based violence victims, natural disaster and complex emergency victims, and victims of deadly diseases, I underwent rigorous training in international development, fellowship in humanitarian leadership and course completion in Economic Evaluation Basis at Dataville Research Institute and USAID Global E-learning enter respectively. I'm currently undergoing a fellowship in Sexual and Gender-based Violence. 


I'm a prolific researcher who has co-authored three publications in reputable international journals. My love for empirical research catapults my skills in data analysis using statistical packages such as SPSS, Eviews, and Stata.


I have a growth mindset and am always willing to learn, unlearn and relearn. I do not fall for mediocrity and complacency but embrace excellence and professionalism. You would find me warm, flexible, and adaptive with a great sense of humor. I'm a result-oriented person who prioritizes outcomes over all else.


My philosophy is that everyone deserves to be treated as humans regardless of their status, race, social, religious, or political dispensation so I treat everyone with love and respect.


My footprint on this platform earned me an international award designated as the Ambassador of Culture and Human Rights by the prestigious BOOKS FOR PEACE and recognition by the Federation of International Gender and Human Rights (FIGHR), which I do not take for granted. 


I am open to connections, opportunities, and collaborations.
