About

My experience working in interdisciplinary environments has improved my skills in corporate communication, operational management, and entrepreneurship, making me well-suited for a corporate ecosystem. I have completed courses focused on Sustainability, energy, Environment, Social, and governance (ESG) that further enhance my expertise in sustainable research. In my previous role as a Financial Inclusion Officer at First Bank Nigeria Limited, I contributed to the design of strategies for establishing the Agency Banking business, resulting in a 25% increase in branch income every quarter. I support the internal control office to ensure transaction due diligence and business risk review to achieve group objectives. Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to corporate sustainability, particularly in the context of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations for businesses. My comprehensive understanding of financial inclusion and sustainability, coupled with my passion for fixed income, credit analysis, and industry insights, has equipped me to make a meaningful impact in this role. What sets me apart is my ability to collect data, analyse, interprete, and communicate complex ideas effectively, both in writing and verbally.
