About

As an experienced Managing Partner with a successful track record in the construction industry, I am deeply passionate about real estate in developing markets.

Currently, I am Co-founder of YALO.ng, driving innovation in proptech and transforming the rental market in Nigeria.

YALO is a shelter-tech platform that enables employers to offer rental finance as a structured benefit, particularly in markets where annual rent payments are the norm and housing access is out of reach for many. We make quality housing more affordable and accessible, especially for women and underserved employees often excluded from traditional rental systems. By linking housing to employment, YALO helps organizations drive equity, retention, and wellbeing, while giving workers the stability and dignity of a secure home.
