Job Title
Founding Chairman/President at the Nigerian Council. And President at SpiderHawk Global Corporation

What you do specifically?
I work across different sectors within the global economic, socio-cultural and political spectrum to build synergies between the government and people of Nigeria, and the world aimed at widening the frontiers of opportunities, harnessing innovations for sustainably secure and prosperous Nigeria’s future.

Core responsibilities
Responsible for the overall management of the Nigerian Council, SpiderHawk and other international engagements.

How long have you been at this job?
I have been steering the Nigerian Council ship since the last four years. Within these year’s, we have opened offices in nine countries around the world. And have been presiding over the affairs of SpiderHawk (a global consulting that engages national governments, public and private sectors, as well as multilateral bodies on security, business, investment, processes, logistics, defense and intelligence)

Highlights of your job
Waking up every day with a deep sense of responsibility and obligation of lifting up those who cannot do for themselves, the least among us.

In the long history of the world, only few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom and equality in its hour of maximum danger. I don not shrink from this responsibility, I welcome it.

Downsides of your job
We live in an unequal world, our strengths are not the same. I notice that most people need a helping hand. But even when I try to help and face numerous shortcomings, I see that not as a downside, but an element that rekindles energy and strength to do more.

If you weren’t doing this, what would you be doing?
I would probably be an Evangelist and would still be doing this. It’s just a calling with some passion within, I guess?

On a scale of 1-10, how would you grade your skill set at this job?
I can’t tell, lol. I have asked my beautiful wife many times how I do at home, she graded me 9.99 and when I ask my staff members how I do at work, they didn’t give me any grade, they just said “I’m the world greatest”, I don’t know, maybe.

I’m living my career dream. Yes? No?
Yes. Without doubt, Yes.
