What I'm looking for

I retain a keen interest in a rewarding and challenging position where I can apply my professional experience, skills and capabilities to managerial issues in a structured corporate setting.

For over five years, I distinguished myself in the role of Group Head, Corporate Communications for the Zinox Group, a leading Nigerian technology conglomerate which includes thriving ICT concerns including Zinox Technologies Ltd., Technology Distributions Ltd (TD Africa), Task Systems Ltd and TD Mobile, among others, growing the Share of Voice (SOV) and public standing of the Group in the competitive Nigerian technology space.
More recently, I have also excelled as Group Head, Marketing & Communications for Konga where I have improved marketing efficiency by 40% and grown revenue by 20%, while also retaining oversight responsibilities for the Corporate Communications function in the Zinox Group.
Appointed Managing Editor of 1st News, a Nigerian online news medium acquired by the Zinox Group in 2018.
I was also appointed Executive Director of PJTK Media, the parent company of 1st News in 2019.
My writing skills have been recognized by the Nigerian government when I emerged as one of the winners in the 2011 National Youth Essay competition organized by the National Orientation Agency (NOA).
