Legal Compliance Executive at Firmus Advisory Nigeria, advising on 50+ company incorporations and building data protection frameworks.

Nigeria
Message

At Firmus Advisory Nigeria, I advise on and incorporate local and foreign-owned companies, and process compliance documents including Expatriate Quotas, Business & Residence Permits, and NIPC Certificates.

At Firmus Advisory, I designed and implemented a data protection and privacy policy framework anchored in the NDPA 2023. I also advised clients on GDPR-aligned compliance and cross-border data transfer risks.

I drafted, reviewed, and negotiated commercial contracts, coordinated board governance activities, and authored legal and compliance articles that generated over $5,000 in new business revenue. I also delivered webinars and training for entrepreneurs on business registration, data privacy, and intellectual property.

Earlier, at Principles Law Partnership, I researched and drafted court processes, including an initial evaluation for Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) that formed the basis for a successful appeal. As a Global Shapers Community member, I contribute to projects aimed at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in Port Harcourt and beyond.
