I turn workforce, economic, and institutional data into actionable decisions and measurable performance improvements.

At Workforce Outcomes Advisory, I collect, clean, and analyze labour market and workforce data to deliver actionable insights for policymakers, organizations, and workforce stakeholders. I developed the Participation–Earnings Gap (PEG), an original framework for measuring economic mobility.

As Unit Head of Strategic Planning & Partner Coordination at Nigeria’s National Blood Service Agency, I analyze institutional performance data and lead multi-stakeholder reporting across government and health-sector institutions. My performance measurement frameworks improved operational efficiency by 27%.

Previously, at Afkhasy Business Lab, I conducted economic and market analysis for more than 100 client organizations, contributing to revenue growth of up to 20% annually across client portfolios. I also supported workforce reform initiatives through policy research and data analysis at the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation.

I bring more than eight years of quantitative analysis, research, reporting, and evidence-based decision support, backed by a PhD and MSc in Economics and a BSc in Statistics. I work with Excel, STATA, SPSS, R, and EViews, while strengthening my SQL and Power BI capabilities.
