I am a graduate of  Agricultural Economics (First Class Honours) and I was awarded an International Fellowship by the American Association of University Women (AAUW) Educational Foundation to undertake my postgraduate studies in the UK. I recently completed a postgraduate study in Resource Management (MSc.) at the University of Edinburgh.

I have worked as a research assistant with an international institute for research, providing support to a team of professionals across the globe on Tele-Food projects for poverty alleviation programmes currently going on in Nigeria. While in the UK, I gave a presentation at the Scottish Parliament on Public Participation and Policy Issues with regard to development in the Green Belt. My dissertation work took me to the Niger Delta oil producing region of Nigeria, to analyse the level of economic empowerment and public participation and the impact of these on sustainable development of the region, using Shell as a case study.

I would be 26 years on the 21st of August.
