He was the Programme Officer of Pan African Development Education and Advocacy Programme (PADEAP), an international non governmental organization based in Funtua, Katsina State, Nigeria.

Comrade Experience lives a life that is anchored on a very strong belief that the only purpose of man’s existence is to contribute to solving humanity's numerous problems. This belief has driven him to initiate and champion many youth-led and community development projects. He was the pioneer and coordinator of the PADEAP/NYSC Peer Educators HIV/AIDS Prevention Project, an initiative that coordinated and supported the peer education training and sensitization efforts of NYSC Corps members in secondary schools in Katsina State, Nigeria.

He has a bias for human rights especially children, women and environmental rights. He coordinated a Human Rights Education Project (Assisting Communities Together{ACT})of PADEAP which was sponsored by the United Nations Human Rights Commission and UNDP. This project covered secondary schools in eight local government areas of Katsina State, Nigeria.
