Biography
I am a highly skilled and results-driven Data Analyst, Researcher, and Economist, with a strong academic foundation and extensive experience in research, data visualization, and analysis. Holding a B.Sc. in Economics from the University of Calabar and an M.Sc. in Economics at the Federal University of Lafia, I have developed a deep understanding of economic principles and their practical applications in addressing complex real-world challenges. Over the years, I have honed my expertise in data analysis and visualization, leveraging advanced tools such as SPSS, Power BI, Tableau, Stata, R, SQL and Python to extract actionable insights and inform decision-making. My professional journey includes impactful roles where I managed data-driven projects, designed predictive models, and automated analytical processes to enhance operational efficiency and strategic planning. Notably, I contributed to the production of the State Statistical Bulletin during my tenure at the Ministry of Finance, Budget & Planning in Nasarawa State, showcasing my ability to handle complex datasets and deliver high-quality outputs. My research interests are anchored in economic development, climate change, gender inclusivity, and policy evaluation. I have published multiple papers in reputable journals and conference proceedings, including works on climate change mitigation, food productivity, and public sector reforms. These contributions reflect my commitment to addressing critical issues through evidence-based research and actionable recommendations. Beyond technical expertise, I am passionate about capacity building and stakeholder engagement. I have successfully trained individuals and teams in statistical analysis and data visualization, equipping them with the skills to drive data-informed decisions. My ability to simplify complex data narratives and communicate effectively has consistently fostered collaboration and delivered impactful results. I am a member of the National Association of Energy Economics (NAEE), the Nigerian Economic Society (NES), Nigeria Institute of management (NIM), Safety membership with Environmental, Health & Safety (1,2 &3). I also have Certification and membership with chartered Institute of customer Relationship management – USA, Human resources management (HRM), and Institute of Chartered Accountant of Nigeria (In view).
