Summary
My experience from Debt Management Office Nigeria has made me adept in Public Debt Management policy/strategy formulation and in understanding macroeconomic issues and development (both domestic and global). Furthermore, my knowledge of Microsoft Office coupled with the opportunity to have worked with different teams has significantly enhanced my operational efficiency, communication skills (both verbal and written) and adaptivity. In summary, I am self-motivated, with a strong sense of personal responsibility, and skilled at working independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
