I am a humanitarian lawyer and protection professional based in Kaduna, Nigeria, with over 20 years of experience designing, leading, and scaling Protection and Rule of Law programs. I specialize in access to justice, protection monitoring, legal empowerment, safeguarding, and gender equality — with a strong track record of delivering high-impact programs in complex and conflict-affected settings.

I was called to the Nigerian Bar in 2002 as a Solicitor and Advocate of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. I began my career at Legal Awareness for Nigerian Women (LANW), where I managed legal clinics providing counseling, referrals, and representation to women and girls affected by abuse and rights violations.

Since joining the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in 2015, I have progressed through roles including Training and Capacity Building Officer, Senior Protection Officer, Protection Manager, Senior Program Coordinator, and currently Protection and Rule of Law Coordinator. I have provided strategic leadership across five states, overseeing program design, implementation, monitoring, quality assurance, and donor compliance for large-scale humanitarian portfolios.

A key achievement includes spearheading the establishment of Gidan Bayani (Signpost Nigeria), a nationally recognized information and referral platform that has reached over 200,000 people with timely, verified information on legal rights, protection services, and access to justice.
