Across more than two decades, her work has focused on strengthening the systems that connect capital, infrastructure, and economic activity.

Through Still Earth Construction, she has built a reputation for reliable infrastructure delivery across Nigeria. In 2019, she founded Tirex Petroleum and Energy, which grew to approximately 30 percent of the nation’s drilling market share within its first few years.

Raised between northern and southwestern Nigeria, to a Hausa-Fulani mother from Gombe and a Yoruba father from Ondo, she developed an early appreciation for different perspectives and the complexity of building across contexts.

She holds a degree in Political Science, has completed executive education in Political Economy and Governance, and is a graduate of Harvard Business School’s Owner President Management Program.
