What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an opportunity where I can build practical legal skills while supporting legal advocacy, research, and community sensitisation—within a mentoring culture that values organisation, teamwork, and measurable impact.

I am a final-year law student at the University of Ibadan with experience in legal advocacy initiatives, alternative dispute resolution and project management. Through leadership roles across student organizations, I’ve developed strong organisational and administrative strength alongside hands-on exposure to legal sensitisation and advocacy.

As President of Queen Elizabeth II Hall Literary and Debating Society (over 40 members), I led public speaking trainings and also spearheaded the creation of a student chapter of the International Federation of Women Lawyers in Oyo State, inducting 30 female law students, and coordinated a walk of over 20 volunteers that educated over 300 residents on the legal and health implications of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).

I am interested in Corporate and Commercial Law, Alternative Dispute Resolution, and Team Management.
