What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an opportunity where I can support policy-driven work through administrative and program support, research, and stakeholder coordination—contributing to public service, international cooperation, and development-focused institutions.

I’m a proactive, adaptable, and detail-oriented graduate of History and International Relations from Veritas University, Abuja, with a strong academic grounding in global politics, governance, and policy analysis. I’m passionate about understanding global affairs and cross-cultural relations, and I’m currently pursuing Chinese Studies to strengthen international engagement.

Through my experience as an Administrative & Executive Support Officer at the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) during NYSC, I managed executive scheduling, correspondence, and executive-level administrative support. I also coordinated events and stakeholder engagements, supported policy research and policy implementation initiatives, and contributed to data collection, documentation, and decision-making through programme monitoring.
