NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am a result-oriented business administrator with strong operational and human resources experience, committed to driving organizational growth and team performance. I specialize in coordinating teams, managing office operations, and improving processes to deliver high-quality administrative leadership.
In recent roles I led business development and HR functions for a legal consulting firm, designing client expansion strategies, preparing proposals, and implementing performance appraisal systems. I have hands-on production and operational management experience in agricultural operations where I supervised staff, coordinated supply chains, and enforced quality and safety standards.
Earlier positions include head of administration for an NGO and secretary for an agricultural association, where I managed field operations, program planning, meeting coordination, and documentation. I combine strong communication, stakeholder engagement, and negotiation skills with emotional intelligence and conflict resolution to foster productive workplace relationships.
I hold a B.Ed. in English and multiple professional certificates in HR, soft skills, customer relations, and specialized training in mushroom cultivation and vocational entrepreneurship. I am eager to apply my administrative, operational, and business development expertise to roles that value impact, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
