What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my geological expertise while fostering professional growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated geologist with over 3 years of experience in geological field investigations and data management. My work at the Kwara State Ministry of Solid Mineral Development has honed my skills in conducting geophysical and feasibility investigations for government-owned mining sites. I provide technical advice to the government on leasing these sites based on thorough proposal assessments.

In addition to my geological expertise, I have 2+ years of experience in networking computer systems, ensuring efficient data transmission across networks. My academic background includes a Master of Science in Applied Geophysics and a Bachelor of Science in Geology and Mining, equipping me with a solid foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of geology.
