I am currently working as the Women's Affairs Journalist at BBC News in West Africa. I joined the organisation in July, 2019. I continuously take a lead in identifying new formats and treatments to be used in telling human interest stories. I collaborate with teams to produce engaging digital contents. I manage multiple projects while providing support to other digital team members.
Before the BBC, I was a Senior News Anchor, Presenter and Reporter at TVC News, one of the leading media organisations in Nigeria. I joined the organisation in July 2012 and worked there for seven years. I constantly took a lead in presenting flagship news and conducting exclusive interviews with public personalities for the medium. I co-ordinated News Anchors' workflow and co-managed their activities. My work was recognised and rewarded with internal recognitions and national awards and nominations.
Earlier, I worked for Galaxy Television, the first private television station in Nigeria. I joined the media outlet in June 2010 and worked with them for two years as a Reporter and News Anchor. I led the news production team to produce multiple news bulletins, co-ordinated the activities of news correspondents across the country and also sub-edited reporters' stories. I constantly managed multiple initiatives in the newsroom, while delivering my expected duties and also providing relevant and timely support to team members.
