Onita Oluwatobi Samuel

I am a graduate of Political Science from the University of Lagos, Nigeria, with a growing passion for leadership, development, and entrepreneurship. My academic journey exposed me to the critical relationship between governance, economic development, and society’s well-being. It shaped my understanding of the world and inspired my desire to become part of the solution to societal and economic challenges, both in Nigeria and globally.

During my undergraduate studies, I developed a keen interest in understanding how policies influence lives and how leadership can change the course of nations. This interest pushed me to seek experiences outside the classroom, including professional roles that helped me build critical life skills. Currently, I work as a Customer Experience Dealer Lead at Carbin Africa, a role that has given me the platform to engage directly with customers and clients, manage expectations, and drive service excellence. Working in that environment has strengthened my interpersonal communication, negotiation, and problem-solving abilities. I have learned the importance of teamwork, responsibility, and integrity in achieving both personal and organizational goals.

Outside my formal career, I have developed an entrepreneurial mindset. I am currently building myself in the real estate sector, learning the intricacies of property leasing and management. This has helped me appreciate the value of creating multiple streams of income and participating actively in wealth creation. I am also keen on financial literacy and investment, understanding that financial empowerment is key to sustainable success in both personal and community life.

My career ambition is to combine my academic background, professional experiences, and entrepreneurial interests to contribute meaningfully to economic development, particularly in emerging markets like Nigeria. I am eager to advance my education through a master’s degree abroad, not just for personal achievement but to gain global exposure, build cross-cultural competence, and acquire advanced knowledge that can be applied locally for positive change.

Though my CGPA is a Second Class Lower, I believe my real-world experiences, leadership mindset, and commitment to self-improvement speak volumes about my capabilities and potential. I am motivated by a desire to grow, take on new challenges, and inspire others along the way.

I believe in the power of resilience, focus, and strategic thinking. These values guide my life as I continue my journey toward personal success and meaningful societal contribution.
