I am a professor of journalism and communication studies and Director of International Relations, Partnership and Prospects (IRPP) at the University of Lagos. I am an innovative, dynamic and creative professional and international education practitioner with over 28 years of cross-functional and cross-sector local and international experience. These experiences have led to an acquisition of skills in policy development and implementation, international relations, strategic and complex external relations management, development communication, media management, idea, human and financial resource management. My academic experience includes undergraduate and postgraduate research supervision and mentoring of students who are now occupying important and strategic positions in both the industry and the academia. I have made a difference in the various roles I have occupied over the years using the theory of change and I have proven ability to develop programmes and organisations out of nothing. I am an astute manager, stewarding organisations, managing dynamic internal and external relations and making effective resourcing decisions to maximise impact.
