Summary

I am a broadcast journalist with about 25 years of experience in radio and television broadcasting. I was awarded Nigeria’s highest media merit award as the TELEVISION REPORTER OF THE YEAR in 1999/2000. I currently seek an international engagement in broadcasting where I may harness my decades of hands-on-experience to enhance clarity on divergent social issues, politics, economy, international relations, such that may contribute to the improvement of harmony in the world, raise the bar of quality broadcasting and contribute to the growth of the reputation and integrity of my new broadcast organization.
