Media professional and journalist focused on accurate reporting, interviewing, and broadcast-ready scripts.
What I'm looking for
I’m a broadcast-focused news reporter and media professional, trained in mass communication and Radio and TV Presentation. I bring strong skills in gathering information, researching background details, and turning stories into broadcast-ready scripts.
In my role at Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), I collected news details from sources, arranged interviews, and reported news stories for broadcast. I also prepared scripts for vetting, edited audio and video recordings for broadcast, and analyzed background information to ensure complete and accurate delivery.
Before and alongside media work, I taught as a Subject Teacher at ST. Julius Private School. I drafted lesson plans, prepared tests and examinations, graded assignments, and communicated regularly with parents and guardians—always driven by teamwork and timely results.
My education includes BSc Mass Communication and a Diploma in Radio and TV Presentation, plus a research focus on audience perception of pidgin English for broadcast (Orange FM). I thrive in fast-paced environments where attention to detail, urgency to meet deadlines, and strong communication matter.
