PROFILE

I studied Agriculture. I have a Masters’ degree in Business Administration. I have a Higher National Diploma in Agriculture. I also read and study Psychology specializing in the field of dreams.

I worked as Research Assistant at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Nigeria, for many years. I later worked as Estate Manager with Michelin Development Company, Rubber Plantations, Nigeria. At Michelin Development Company, I had many Managers and Supervisors under my supervision. I was the Team Leader with a workforce of over two hundred people.

I am writing a book, a creative literary work. I am still reading and writing.

I have given lectures on Dreams to a medium-large audience.

I kept a parrot as a pet and companion.

I assisted in editing the minutes of a large organization for two years.

I can edit and proofread: texts, documents, projects, reports, and articles.

As an experienced manager of men, materials, and fund for many years,

I am used to facing challenges and overcoming them. Thus:

1.     In 1987, at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, (IITA), Ibadan, when the equipment made by the Engineering Department was not workable, I fabricated “An Ascending Board” mounted on scaffold. It facilitated all operations on the glasshouse roofs.

2.     In 1994, at Michelin Development Company, now Rubber Estates Nig. Ltd. (RENL), the Company had the challenge of ascertaining which blocks of rubber field had the worst damage and in which order the field blocks should be felled for replanting. I conducted research covering 2000 hectares of the plantation. Through study and measurement of the bark of the trees and using statistical analysis, I ranked the blocks according to the remaining tappable bark, for felling and replanting purposes.

Thus:

I am:

·        Self-motivated,

·        A good team player as well as using my initiative to work alone.

Skills:

·        Writing essays and articles.

·        Proofreading and editing texts.
