Biographical details
I studied BA Politics with International Relations at the University of York (2011-2014) and wrote my dissertation on the effectiveness of Foreign Aid. From September 2014- September 2015 I did an MA in International Political Economy at King's College London. Following this, I moved back home to Nigeria, where I worked for a Nigerian NGO in called Neem Foundation from September 2016 to September 2018. Neem Foundation supports the rehabilitation and reintegration of people worst affected by the ongoing Boko Haram insurgency in North-East Nigeria. At Neem Foundation, I led a team in collaboration with community actors that implemented Early Warning systems in the rural communities Boko Haram attacked and recruited from.
