A seasoned Fixed Assets Manager with over 15 years of practical work experience. An achiever in that I have been successful in meeting set goals within set time leading to a profitable relationship in my career.
Graduated from Federal Polytechnic Ilaro in 1998, I was fortunate to have joined a consulting firm- Global Partners in February 2001. The training received followed by practical work experience was instrumental to my entry into Fixed Asset Accounting & management. I was with Global Partners for 17 months.
While in Global Partners, I was part of the team that successfully raised funding for MTS in 2002
In May 2003, I joined Guinness Nigeria Plc as a Fixed Asset Verification Officer. As a team player, my leadership skills and ability to manage, deliver project came to play when I was chosen by the management to lead a team of verification officers to Benin Breweries on Verification Project conducted in 2003. This project recorded a huge success.
I really enjoyed my role at Guinness Nig. Plc but I was considering other opportunities in the Telecommunication sector and so, in August 2003 I moved to MTS First Wireless, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) Telecommunication Company as Finance Operation Specialist, a position I occupied until 2008.
Also while in MTS I was instrumental to the savings of N283.7 million for MTS during debt forgiveness meeting with the company creditors. This were contracts relating to the procurement of Fixed Assets of the company 2005 .
In year 2008 August, I was concerned that MTS First Wireless will be unable to secure another round of funding that was highly required as working capital that time, hence I moved to Food concepts Plc as Fixed Assets manager, a position I occupied until 2011.
2011 August precisely, I moved to Tokunbo Ayorinde & Company. It’s a real estate company where I served till as its finance controller till April 2017.
