About Sarah Ivie Adidi

A Career Built Around People, Ideas and Impact

I am a development economist, public speaker, entrepreneur and youth activist whose career spans development, public policy, entrepreneurship, mentorship and community engagement.

I hold a B.A. in Economics from Boston College, an M.A. in International Political Economy from King’s College London and a postgraduate certification in Public Policy Analysis from the London School of Economics.

Since completing my education, I have worked in development finance, with professional experience spanning several African countries. I currently serve as a Program Coordinator in the Statistics Department of a leading development finance institution, where I work on initiatives that help governments improve the quality and timeliness of official statistics for policy and decision-making.

I am also the Founder and Principal Technical Partner of SIA Green Ltd., a Nigerian consulting firm providing business development services to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.

What Matters to Me

My interest in public service is rooted in a simple belief: leadership should improve everyday life, not serve personal interests. Over the years, I have worked closely with young people, institutions, and policy actors who are trying to bridge the gap between governance and real opportunity.

I am passionate about creating opportunities for women and young people to participate, lead and succeed.

I believe leadership carries a responsibility to serve, listen and create opportunities for others.

Through SIA Green Ltd., I work with Nigerian MSMEs and support business development.

My humanitarian and mentorship work reflects my belief that professional success should also create value for others.

My interest in politics come from my broader commitment to community development and participation in public life.

Here is what people have to say...

Sarah brings structure and seriousness to everything she does. I’ve seen her work directly with young people, not just talk about them. She listens, she prepares, and she follows through. That kind of leadership is rare and badly needed.
Youth Program Coordinator

Abuja

What stands out about Sarah is her ability to connect policy to real people. She understands systems, but she never loses sight of how decisions affect everyday lives. That balance is exactly what good representation requires.
Development Professional
Sarah leads with integrity. She doesn’t grandstand or make empty promises. She asks questions, listens carefully, and works with people across differences. I trust her to represent everyone fairly.
