What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my strategic skills in a dynamic environment, fostering growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in business development and marketing. With a Master’s degree in International Affairs & Diplomacy from Ahmadu Bello University, I have honed my skills in strategic planning and client management. My experience as a Marketing Officer at Leadway Assurance allowed me to excel in sales and client relations, where I provided tailored investment advice and managed insurance policies effectively.

Prior to this, I served as an Accounts Officer at IFS Group, where I was responsible for payroll, financial reporting, and inventory management. My NYSC service year at OSOPADEC further solidified my accounting skills, particularly in bank reconciliations and payroll management. I am passionate about continuous learning and thrive in collaborative environments, always aiming for excellence and innovation in my work.
