I have a Qualifying Certificate from the Nigerian Law School and a Bachelor of Laws (Hons.) from Benue State University. Throughout my education, I have developed strong analytical skills and have proven myself to be a fast learner, persevering, efficient, and an inspirational leader. I am proficient in Microsoft Packages and am a team player who thrives in collaborative environments.
In terms of work experience, I have served as an In-House Counsel at Sjc Design & Construction Ltd in Abuja, where I have been responsible for drafting legal documents, engaging in litigation, vetting documents, and ensuring compliance with relevant laws and authorities. Prior to that, I worked as a Counsel at T. T. Hyundu & Co. in Makurdi, where I drafted legal documents, engaged in litigation, vetted documents, and managed properties. I have also worked as a Counsel at the Legal Aid Counsel of Nigeria in Gombe, where I engaged in litigation and provided free legal services.
