Bio

A community development advocate, who love to speak for rural areas to have a better infrastructural development,social amenities, enlightenment and awareness,that will reduce rural-urban migration and retard growth in our rural environment. I am a consummate and target driven business and idea developer,with over 5 years’ experience of providing top-notch services to clients in different industries. I desire a challenging work environment where my capabilities can be stretched and optimized. And I am a believer of sectoral linkage in every organisation that I find myself,it's always make works easier and increase productivity. I am a young man(economist) whose passion is purely based on researching into the past, present and future of my world, ready to learn and know what will make a positive change in our world,and ready to be part of what will bring the change the world have been waiting for. Tourism has been one of my passion, because if you love to research,you must love to go places,all because seen is believing. Passionate to travel round the world and make a positive reply impact everywhere I go.

I'm passionate about

Equipment treatment by government towards the rural areas as against the urban centers, because lack of Rural development, a great danger to every society.

An idea worth spreading

One of the greatest problem of our country is underdevelopment of our rural areas. Developed countries of the world today,did not only concentrate on urban development, rather rural and urban #development . The insecurity that we are experiencing today,the large percentage of it was originated because of lack of rural development,and believe government neglect them against those who are in the city. Many NGOs that are into sensitisation of teenagers,only do that is the city and leave the rural one to there own fate. Many tenagers in the rural areas continue to get pregnant,many haven't even use sanitary pad before in there life, because they don't have the resources or haven't even seen it before because of lack of orientation and sensitisation,which there other colleagues enjoy in the city. There are many resources untapped in our rural area,which if the rural youths are well trained and providing the funds and tools for them,they will do the imaginable. I have met with great minds in the villages,but lack of funds and good training kept them in a position, believing only people in the city alone enjoy the good thing... I am with a new idea called #Ruralpreneurship/#Wardpreneurship,this Idea will really bring back our Rural development and reduce Rural-Urban migration... Take note: Rural development is one of the main way to reduce insecurity and inflation in this country
