What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth and allows me to contribute to impactful legal work.

I am a detail-oriented legal professional with a strong academic foundation and hands-on experience in legal research, analysis, and litigation. My journey through various internships, including my role as a Legal Intern at the Independent National Electoral Commission, has equipped me with practical skills in legal documentation and compliance checks. I thrive in dynamic environments and am known for my excellent communication and teamwork abilities.

Throughout my education at Rivers State University and the Nigerian Law School, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of various legal disciplines, including International Humanitarian Law and Commercial Law. My commitment to continuous learning is evident in my participation in seminars and conferences, as well as my research on land title challenges in Nigeria. I am eager to leverage my diverse skill set in an entry-level role that allows me to contribute effectively to team goals while furthering my professional development.
