Message

At ipNX Nigeria Limited, I lead Talent Acquisition and partner with HODs, DCEOs, and management to align hiring plans with workforce needs. I’ve developed proactive pipelines for recurring and critical roles and expanded sourcing through talent mapping, referrals, headhunting, and academic partnerships.

At Huawei Technologies Company (Nigeria) Limited, I led recruitment delivery and supported HR operations, including PAYE, Pension, and NHF administration. I also supported payroll and compensation processes, employee lifecycle activities, and HR documentation.

Earlier, I managed full-cycle recruitment for technical and non-technical roles as a Recruitment Specialist, and supported onboarding, employee relations, payroll, and engagement as an HR Generalist. My experience also includes HR administration at RGS Worldwide and international customer support at LeanStone Publishing.
