A Transformative Leader Turning Bold Ideas into Lasting Impact
About Me
I’ve always been a process person, someone who believes that great outcomes are rarely accidents. Everything we do, whether in life or work, requires careful planning, gathering requirements, stakeholder management, budget management, and the discipline to follow through. That mindset has guided me in turning ambitious ideas into tangible, lasting results for the communities I serve.

I led a team to execute Project Give, providing over 2,000 vulnerable children at Access Bank Fifth Chukker School in Kaduna with uniforms, school supplies, feeding programs, infrastructural improvements, and extracurricular activities.

I led the execution of the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) methodology at Access Bank Fifth Chukker School in Kaduna, an evidence-based approach that groups children by learning ability instead of age or grade. By coordinating teachers, resources, and community engagement, I ensured smooth implementation of the program, which resulted in a 20% improvement in literacy and numeracy within a year. This initiative created a more inclusive learning environment and gave children previously left behind the opportunity to catch up and succeed.
