About

I bring a strong background in Architecture and am currently immersed in the construction industry, where I’ve managed major projects across three geopolitical zones in Nigeria. To further deepen my expertise, I’ve embarked on an extensive learning journey, completing over 20 courses in Construction Management, Project Management, and Supply Chain Management. I’m committed to continuous growth in these areas. With experience managing construction projects valued at over N1.5 billion in both the private and public sectors, I have a comprehensive understanding of project scope, planning, timelines, regulations, resource allocation, technical feasibility, progress tracking, and portfolio management. I am also well-versed in detailed reporting, documentation, and other critical aspects of construction project success. Outside of the built space, I am a passionate sports enthusiast with coaching experience, having served as the faculty coach at Covenant University and as an assistant coach at Clique Soccer Academy and a local secondary school. This passion has inspired me to create a sports podcast, "Between The Lines."I am also a guest on daily sports radio shows on Top Radio 90.9FM, Lagos and Vibes 97.3FM, Benin. On a personal note, one of my goals is to become a polyglot, so I’m currently learning French and German. I also have an eclectic taste in music and am a voracious reader, always exploring new genres and ideas.
