What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a dynamic organization that fosters growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated IT Security graduate with a strong foundation in information systems and a passion for enhancing organizational security. My journey began at the American University of Nigeria, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Information Systems, specializing in Security and Assurance. Since then, I have honed my skills through various roles at NIRSAL Plc, where I implemented and managed Office 365, SharePoint, and Azure infrastructures, significantly improving operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong leadership and organizational skills, particularly in my current role as a Supervisor in the Strategic & Applied ICT Department. Here, I have successfully developed and executed cybersecurity awareness programs, implemented security solutions, and led initiatives to enhance the organization's security posture. My certifications, including CompTIA Security+ and Prince2 Practitioner, further validate my expertise and commitment to continuous professional development.
