I enjoy work that's varied and hands-on. I like coordinating moving parts, digging into research, and keeping teams and projects on track. I'm drawn to Chief of Staff, project management, and programme coordination roles where I can think strategically and roll up my sleeves at the same time.

NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Programme Associate with experience coordinating multi-institution programmes across Nigeria’s public sector and international partners. At Tech Hive Advisory, I led stakeholder engagement for Nigeria's STI ecosystem review (Sankore project) with FCDO, UNESCO, and ACET, managing engagement across 8+ government agencies/MDAs to support delivery and inter-institutional follow-up.
I strengthen privacy governance in practice through end-to-end programme delivery—overseeing workflows, deliverable tracking, and stakeholder correspondence across concurrent projects. I coordinated 14+ certified training programmes under Tech Hive’s IAPP-accredited partnership, co-organised a data protection workshop with the Future for Privacy Forum, Nigerian Data Protection Commission, and the U.S. Department of State, and supported lawful data processing awareness through the “Legal Basis Project.”
My background also blends research, communication, and operational execution. As an Intern, Research Assistant at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, I supported diplomatic events and produced briefings, policy memos, and analytical reports, while earlier roles included research-driven growth work (supporting a 30% increase in customer acquisition) and programme coordination through partnership-focused community outreach.
