Leadership

I believe leadership should create opportunities for others. My work with young people, women and communities reflects my commitment to developing people and strengthening participation.

As Founder and Principal Technical Partner of SIA Green Ltd., I support Nigerian MSMEs with business development services designed to help them build and scale.

About Me

I am a development economist, public speaker, entrepreneur and youth activist with experience across development, public policy, business and community engagement.

I have worked across several African countries, building relationships with government officials and supporting initiatives that improve the quality and timeliness of official statistics for policy and decision-making. I am also passionate about women and youth development, mentorship and creating opportunities for people to participate meaningfully in society.

Conversations That Matter.

I am a speaker on leadership, youth and women empowerment, entrepreneurship, politics, development and social impact.

I have spoken at conferences and leadership events, including the Inspire Her International Conference and Awards and the National Leaders & Youth Stakeholders Conference. I also serve on the Strategic Advisory Board for the upcoming National Fair on Trade, Culture and Skills for Women & Youth 2.0.
