About

I am a Biochemist, Lecturer, and Public Health Advocate with 10+ years of experience advancing Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) prevention, nutrition, and global health initiatives across Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa. As a Lecturer in Medical Biochemistry at David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences, I specialize in Environmental Toxicology and Nutritional Biochemistry, with a focus on practical strategies for preventing NCDs and metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. In my role as Founder & CEO of the Future Wellness & Non-Communicable Disease Prevention Initiative (FWNCDPI), I lead community health programs that have reached 1,000+ beneficiaries through education, early screening, and lifestyle interventions. My consultancy portfolio includes collaborations with the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, USAID-funded programs and multi-stakeholder health education initiatives. I bring expertise in: - Policy development & program evaluation. - Nutrition-focused community interventions - Capacity building & stakeholder engagement. - Data-driven decision making (SPSS, SQL, ODK, KoboCollect). I have also designed quality control systems for pharmaceutical production and implemented evidence-based nutrition interventions aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Recognized with awards including the PTDF Scholarship and Federal Government Scholarship, I combine academic distinction with hands-on public health impact. Let’s connect to co-design health policies, evaluate programs, or implement community initiatives that deliver measurable, sustainable change.
