Anne Ndidi Yakubu

I’m a detail-oriented administrative and programme support professional with over 10 years of experience supporting office operations, budget and grant/trust-fund monitoring, meeting and event logistics, and documentation management in large, multi-stakeholder international organisations.

As a Programme Manager at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), I provide comprehensive administrative and coordination support for a multi-million-pound UK Government-funded programme, including scheduling, correspondence, and documentation management. I monitor and report on programme budget disbursements against work plans, preparing financial and progress reports for donor review with full compliance and zero audit findings.

I also organise and support meetings, workshops, and stakeholder events—handling invitations, materials preparation, and follow-up action tracking—while maintaining governance records, risk registers, and compliance documentation in line with donor (ODA/FCDO) standards. I frequently liaise with agencies, implementing partners, and civil society to coordinate joint activities and information sharing across English- and French-speaking contexts.

Before this, I worked as a Project Officer at FCDO and as a Human Resources & Administration Officer at M-P Infrastructure Ltd, where I coordinated executive calendars, recruitment support, office records, and administrative budgets, while maintaining ISO 9001:2008 QMS documentation. I bring advanced Microsoft Office skills alongside hands-on ERP and financial systems experience (Microsoft Dynamics NAV/Navision, Prism, HERA), and I’m known for independently resolving competing priorities under tight deadlines.
