About

I am a development and finance professional with over seven years of experience in humanitarian programming, financial management, internal audit, and field operations. I have worked with organizations such as GiveDirectly and New Incentives ABAE, supporting cash transfer programs, health financing initiatives, and governance-related research across Nigeria. Strengths: My key strengths include financial oversight and compliance, data collection and analysis, program monitoring, risk identification, and accountability systems strengthening. I combine strong analytical skills with hands-on field experience and a high standard of integrity. Research Focus: My research interests focus on public financial management, social protection effectiveness, governance reform, and evidence-based policy. I am particularly interested in how transparency, accountability, and data-driven decision-making improve development outcomes and service delivery.
