About Me

I am a dynamic Monitoring, Evaluation, and Research Specialist with over 13 years of leadership in the international development and public health sectors. My work sits at the intersection of evidence and action – translating complex data into strategies that save lives and strengthen health systems.
With a Doctorate in Health Economics from Federal University Lafia, I bring academic rigor to practical challenges. My MSc in International Public Health from Liverpool John Moores University (England) and dual Master’s degrees in Information Management and Health Economics from Bayero University Kano provide a multidisciplinary foundation for addressing global health challenges.
