ABOUT

I work from Abuja as an independent multimedia journalist, working across print, radio, television and online.

More than 10 years active professional experience covering local and international news, I bring passion for life to my journalism work.

Always on the lookout for freelance opportunities in journalism, multi-media and communications consultancy — or just to hunch over a cup of coffee or wine with someone interesting. If you think we could work together, let's connect.

MORE ABOUT ME

In between my journalism assignments, I capture candid moments of everyday life on the streets of Abuja and other places during my travels.

I often capture these moments with my smartphone, an iPhone which doubles as a camera in my pocket.

In May 2017, my images of everyday Lagos got featured as part of Mobo Fest, the first mobile photography exhibition to run alongside the Mobile Journalism Conference, MojoCon, in Galway, in Ireland.
