I am a Chartered Accountant with extensive expertise in financial analysis, risk-based supervision, and bank examination, developed through my tenure at the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC). My career encompasses two years as an Executive Assistant and one year as a Finance Officer, which has provided me with a comprehensive and versatile skill set.

Additionally, I carry out monthly analyses of 4 banks, focusing on their performance, identifying emerging trends, and detecting early warning signals to ensure financial stability and regulatory compliance.

In my current role, I serve as the Secretary of the NDIC Bank Examination Unit Training Committee. This position involves coordinating and managing training sessions for the examination unit, ensuring that staff are well-versed in the latest procedures and regulations. I also act as an activity reporter, documenting various activities and reporting on unit outcomes, which contributes to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of our operations.

Beyond my role at NDIC, I offer financial consulting services to over 12 individuals and SMEs. My work includes assisting with the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual budgets and providing strategic personal finance advice, focusing on savings, investments, and expense management. I hold a professional qualification as an Associate Accounting Technician of West Africa and have completed in-depth training in accounting and business analysis, further enhancing my expertise in these areas.

Academically, I earned a Second Class Upper degree in Accounting (4.3/5.0) from Michael Okpara University, Nigeria, and achieved a Distinction MBA in Finance and Investment (4.79/5.0) from Ahmadu Bello University. My education covered a broad range of subjects, including business analysis, finance, investment, audit, and information technology.

I am proficient in Microsoft Office tools, data entry, recordkeeping, accounting, and bookkeeping. My ability to rapidly adapt to new concepts and effectively manage multiple priorities is evident from my professional and academic achievements. I am keen on pursuing roles that offer professional challenges and opportunities for growth, where I can leverage my skills in interpersonal communication, problem-solving, and time management. My interests span virtual assistance, business and financial analysis, investment management, banking, personal finance, and information technology.
