FULL BIO
I recently completed my academic course work as a postgraduate student of University of Lagos (M.Sc Management) and hope to graduate with a Phd grade.
I finished my secondary education from Nigerian Navy Secondary School in Abeokuta with Seven distinctions and a credit pass in my Senior School Certificate examination (SSCE) and graduated from University of Abuja in 2005, as the most outstanding student from the department of Business Administration with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.36 on a scale of 5.00 (3.49/4.00).
Whilst in tertiary institution, I distinguished myself academically and was rewarded with many awards for my academic brilliance. In my final year, I became the President of Entrepreneurship Club, University of Abuja Chapter and wrote a book entitled: “Graduating without Tears”, aimed at encouraging academic hard work amongst undergraduates.
I have anchored so many social events (weddings, parties etc) and corporate events (AGMs, product launch etc).
I enjoy blogging on the internet, public speaking, watching soccer, reading, playing chess, writing, composing and imparting knowledge.
