ESG and community relations professional at Hitech Construction supporting IFC compliance across 209 communities on two highway projects.
What I'm looking for
At Hitech Construction Company Limited, I supported environmental and social compliance, community relations and grievance redress on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and the Sokoto-Badagry Super Highway. My work spanned 209 communities, and I used a digital E&S tracking system to capture and report project data for lender oversight.
I coordinated nine Community Liaison Officers, supported grievance documentation and resolution, and delivered gender-based violence awareness sessions in English and Yoruba. I also supported cultural heritage documentation in line with IFC Performance Standard 8 and escalated site concerns to project and ESG teams.
My path began in soil science and field research, including soil pollution research at Institute of Pollution Studies - IPS, Rivers State University. Through environmental restoration and community programmes, I’ve built experience across stakeholder engagement, environmental sustainability and project support, and I’m building towards ESG management.
