Business Operations & Procurement Specialist helping organizations streamline operations, optimize procurement, and deliver projects efficiently.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Business Operations and Procurement Specialist with over 7 years of experience in procurement, project coordination, and operational support across higher education and commercial real estate. I currently work at Nile University of Nigeria, where I manage procurement activities for infrastructure, ICT, laboratory, facilities, and institutional projects.
Some of my key achievements include managing procurement portfolios exceeding ₦2 billion annually, coordinating more than ₦1.8 billion in capital projects, and delivering over ₦200 million in verified cost savings through strategic sourcing, supplier negotiations, and process improvements. I’ve also led cross-functional coordination involving finance, facilities, ICT, legal, vendors, and project teams to ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget.
Beyond procurement, I have strong experience in stakeholder management, reporting, vendor administration, logistics coordination, event operations, and process optimization. I’m comfortable working in fast-paced environments, managing multiple priorities, and supporting senior leaders with operational and project-related activities.
I’m currently completing an MBA and expanding my skills in project management, data analytics, AI-enabled operations, and business improvement. My professional interests include procurement, business operations, project delivery, supply chain management, digital transformation, and operational excellence.
Personally, I enjoy travel, networking, continuous learning, and participating in initiatives that support leadership development, student empowerment, and career growth. I’m particularly interested in remote and international opportunities where I can contribute my operational expertise while continuing to grow in a global environment.
