My first stint at Tutoring was in 2006-2007 whilst I was serving my country as a National Youth Corps member in the core North of Nigeria. Having with a BSc in Economics in 2005, I was naturally assigned Economics as my core subject. I sometimes taught maths and English to secondary (High) school students. The total number of students under my care was in excess of 500. To make additional income during that period, I took on Private Practice which entailed tutoring mid and high school students on various other subjects. After my MBA in 2010, I started to gravitate into consulting. I did Insurance and Risk Management for 4 and a half years, before moving into Human Resources and Management consulting. I started speaking to Radio Audiences once every Thursday on various business topics. In 2017 I became certified by the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) as a Trainer after a Train-of-Trainers exercise. The initiative was sponsored by Hewlett Packard and branded the UNIDO/HPLIFE Initiative. Thereafter, I started training business owners at paid trainings.
