At FMDQ Securities Exchange Limited, I supported onboarding for new member institutions and maintained regulatory records for Exchange members. I also tested a developing website and researched crowdfunding requirements under Nigerian securities regulations.

As a Graduate Intern at OAKE Legal and Abdulai Taiwo & Co, I researched Nigerian corporate, FinTech, employment and food security law, and drafted legal documents. At Banwo & Ighodalo, I worked with several practice teams and contributed to draft agreements and corporate documents.

At Obafemi Awolowo University, I coached moot teams and organized training in legal research, drafting and advocacy. My moot and mock competition experience includes winning the National Rounds Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Competition.
