Crisis Response Leadership, International Representation, EU-Backed Project Coordinator, Key-Contributor in Nigeria Circular Economy Framework, Led National Policy Initiatives on Waste Management
With over a decade of progressive experience in environmental management, I have consistently demonstrated expertise in developing, implementing, and overseeing sustainability-focused policies and projects. I have a proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, engage with stakeholders across government, private sector, and international development partners, and drive strategic initiatives that improve environmental outcomes.
My involvement in policy formulation particularly in areas like solid waste management, circular economy frameworks, and plastic & textile waste pollution control has positioned me as a valuable resource for national environmental programmes. I have coordinated EU-supported projects on circular economy, OGREE policy and data training by both EU & UNIDO with focus on aligning Nigeria's transition to net zero.
Additionally, I possess strong competencies in environmental audits, compliance monitoring, stakeholder engagement, and the operationalization of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programmes. These roles have afforded me international exposure, including participation in the 2025 Textile Recycling Expo in Brussels, Belgium and multiple recognitions from both local and international institutions.
Adept at project coordination and regulatory advisory, I also bring skills in policy advocacy, report writing, data analysis and technical training.
I am highly motivated by opportunities to work in challenging, dynamic environments where I can contribute to sustainable development, environmental protection, and policy innovation, while also learning from diverse professional experiences.
