About Me

With over 30 years of dedicated service in government social welfare programs, I have devoted my career to creating meaningful change in the lives of vulnerable communities. My journey has been defined by a deep commitment to women's empowerment, child welfare, and community development.

Throughout my tenure as a government director in Nigeria, I led numerous initiatives that transformed welfare delivery systems, established partnerships with NGOs, and implemented evidence-based programs that reached thousands of families. My approach combines strategic policy development with grassroots community engagement.

As a trainer and speaker, I have shared my expertise at national and international forums, mentoring the next generation of welfare professionals and advocating for systemic changes that prioritize human dignity and social justice.

Now in retirement, I continue to serve as a consultant and advisor to organizations committed to social impact, bringing decades of experience to help shape effective welfare strategies and community development programs.
