I am a graduate of Language Literature & Foreign Civilisations from L’Universite d’Abomey-Calavi,Cotonou,Benin Republic.Formally,I was the Program Support Officer for a sport-based non-profit known as “Hope4girls”Nigeria. Now I'm the COO of my own Sports Research & Development outfit known as RDS SPORTS SOLUTIONS.I have huge interest in the areas of gender, development & Peace Management. My strong background in Sports particularly basketball, is the requisite tool I need to contribute to youth & community Development. It is my wish to also further develop my capacity in areas such as planning & co-ordinating projects aimed at creating awareness and raising funds for youth development events. I'm a strong advocate & firm believer in justice, fairness and equity, not just in sports, but in all facets of human life
A friend of mine,an ex-Nigerian International spoke with me some years ago of her vision for young girls in basketball. Being an example of what sports can do to the personal & career aspirations of the girl child, she decided to use her experience to present girls similar opportunities she had while growing up. Hence, our decision to form, “Hope4girls” Nigeria. Now,I coordinate Sports & Development activities at JIREH DOO FOUNDATION,an NGO that works with Orphans & Vulnerable Children (OVC)
