Summary
I have more than Fifteen years’ experience in Information Technology. I have worked with both Private and Public institutions where ICT was the driving force to deliver results for project activities. I worked as a Team Leader and ICT Coordinator at different stages in the Ikaram/Ibaram Millennium Villages Project (MVP) in Ondo State. I communicate excellently in English with English language as the major language of learning from Primary Schools to University level. I possess excellent interpersonal, analytical and research skills. I am a good communicator with people at different levels, with strong communication skills in both oral and written form. I am a fast learner and can work independently when the occasion demands. I have been involved in inter-disciplinary team building in the past 7 years and especially of the Ikaram MVP team. I have had course to interact, collaborate and build partnerships with many government and non-governmental organizations in Nigeria, the MVP regional office in Darka, Senegal, the Millennium Promise and the Earth Institute in Columbia, New York. I possess evidence-based practical experience and results in the achievement of the MDGs (as evidenced by the results of the mid-term survey of the Ikaram MVP).
