Biography
I am a Chevening Scholar studying Investigative Journalism at City, University of London, where I aim to enhance my skills and knowledge in uncovering and reporting the truth. As a journalist with over 10 years of experience in the Nigerian media industry, I have a passion for informing and engaging the public on issues that matter. I have worked as Features Editor and Metro Editor at PUNCH Newspapers, Nigeria's most read newspaper, leading and contributing to multiple investigative stories that exposed corruption, injustice, and human rights violations. I have also developed and implemented editorial standards and policies, and embraced new media platforms and tools to reach and engage wider audiences. I have won several awards and recognition for my work, including the Wole Soyinka Award for Investigative Reporting, Diamond Awards for Media Excellence and Nigeria Media Merit Award. I have strong skills in writing human interest stories, investigation, WordPress, editing, and research, as well as a deep knowledge of the Nigerian socio-political landscape. I am eager to learn from and collaborate with other journalists, academics, and professionals who share my commitment to quality journalism and social impact.
