 About Me |
A Global Citizen, a Nigerian & African Patriot with a Master of Social Work (MSW) with specializations in Community Development from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria.Founder and Executive Director of Centre for Rural Health and Development [CRHD] which is a rural specific, adolescent oriented, community driven Non Governmental & Not for Profit Organization [NGO/NPO] that seeks to contribute to the curbing/reduction of the spread of HIV/AIDS amongst under served and neglected rural populace in South West Nigeria, West Africa using integrated community development approaches. Also the Founder & Executive Director, Nigeria and Africa Renaissance Initiative which is a Pan African organization aimed at catalyzing socio economic and political rebirth in Nigeria and all across the African Continent by promoting good governance, justice, equity, accountability, youth involvement, sustainable development, rule of law, and entrenchment of democratic norms and values.
Also into community and human capacity development, political activism & Pan Africanism, youth mentoring, skill acquisition training, women empowerment, and agricultural development.
I have a passion to leave this world better than I met it and that is my primary motivation for becoming a "Social Entrepreneur" and "Change Agent".
I believe that political platform should serve as a means to further the sustainable development of the masses & communities and not as a means to embezzle state funds as such I contested the Chairmanship /Mayoral post of my Local government Area in 2001-2002 under the platform of the Alliance for Democracy AD (now Action Congress).
I believe that the Millennium Development Goals [MDGs] to make the world a much better place by 2015 can be realized if all hands are on deck worldwide to collaborate, partner and network together.
I believe in the "Power of Synergy" that two good heads can get the job done faster and much better. As such; I am interested in collaborating and partnering with like-minded individuals all over the world.
