I was born on the 29th of January 1977 and obtained a certificate in leadership skills and multi-cultural understanding as part of a World wildlife foundation (WWF) and United Nations sponsored program in Virginia U.S.A. I graduated from Ahmadu Bello University Zaria with a Bachelor of medicine, Bachelor of surgery (M.B.B.S) and obtained post-graduate certificates in clinical medicine from Harvard Medical School, U.S.A in 2006/2007. I also received clinical training and a post-graduate diploma in fertility medicine from a Lagos based fertility consortium in 2010. My masters Degree in clinical epidemiology is from the Centers for disease control Nigeria bases field epidemiology program. I have served as the Head of Kaduna state’s women health clinics in Saudi Arabia during the Hajj pilgrimage in 2007 and 2010. Currently I run a weekly fertility clinic and facilitate reproductive health talks and outreach programs for teenagers. I have given health talks on reproductive health as part of ‘’Women health series” on private Television stations and radio programs. In partnership with an indigenous language newspaper ‘’Aminiya” I have maintained a Phone-in clinic which discusses fertility issues with non-English speakers.

During the Field epidemiology program I was posted to:

We developed protocols, standard operating procedures and trained state based emergency response teams.
  • Monitoring and evaluation unit of the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy control program (NTBLCP) of the federal ministry of health. I assisted in revising National surveillance procedures for Tuberculosis and Leprosy, Midterm strategic plan for Tuberculosis and leprosy control and Protocols for management of Pediatric Tuberculosis.
  • National stop transmission of polio program (NSTOP): Worked as a member of the Management support team for polio immunization in Kano state, Led teams to enumerate missed Nomadic settlements / immunize Under-five children in these communities and conducted missed children and refusal studies in various states. Activities were undertaken in Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Abuja and Zamfara states in Northern Nigeria.

I speak six languages and am widely travelled.
