What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my legal expertise in a dynamic environment, focusing on public sector advisory and litigation support.

I am a detail-oriented Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, with a strong foundation in legal research, litigation support, and public sector advisory. My experience includes drafting legal documents, dispute resolution, and providing legal counsel to governmental bodies. I am committed to ensuring compliance with laws and enhancing organizational efficiency.

Currently, I serve as a Legal Officer at Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Council, where I provide in-house counsel on administrative, contractual, and regulatory matters. My role involves drafting and reviewing legal documents, representing the council in court, and supporting policy implementation. Previously, I worked as an Administrative Officer at YAFP Nigeria Ltd, managing office operations and ensuring regulatory compliance.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B. Hons) from the University of Lagos and a Barrister at Law (B.L) from the Nigerian Law School. I am passionate about leveraging my legal expertise to contribute positively to the public sector and uphold the rule of law.
