I am a Social Entrepreneur, International conference speaker and Internet (Web 2.0) visionary. Founder/CEO of Landmark Internship International, a Nigerian based social enterprise deploying internship, volunteer work and entrepreneurship programmes as a strategy for the development of Africa.

This enterprise also harnesses Web 2.0 as a tool for enhancing the global competitiveness and reach of Africa’s indigenous corporations, small businesses, nonprofits and the young and aspiring. My other Web 2.0 programmes include: Web 2.0 Training for Professionals and Web 2.0 curriculum development for Nigerian higher institutions and business schools.

I am a proud winner of Global Young Social Entrepreneurs Competition, Malaysia and a Speaker at Social Enterprise World Forum, Scotland. In Nigeria, I am building Worldclass Entrepreneurs Series (WES) as a springboard for evolving worldclass African entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurs.

With a decade experience in the field of social entrepreneurship and development sector, I am progressively leveraging this to make my world a better place and to seed into the Africa’s young and aspiring that vast wealth of resourcefulness that we possess within far outweigh the monumental challenges around us.
