My background generally is in consultancy, organisational development and performance enhancement. From there, I moved on to managing programmes and projects and into IT as a project manager. A good project manager should be able to manage projects in any field. I say to people generally, that you should know everything about something and something about everything. That led me into a lot of fields globally because I intended to work with big organisations or national governments in the UK.
A lot of the time, you tend to manage multisite projects. That was good for me in terms of exposure. In my bid to know a little about everything, I moved into IT and then into cyber security.
Many of the people who know me for organisational development and business management consultancy may not immediately know me as a cyber security specialist, particularly in this part of the world. I went through secondary school and tertiary education in the UK but came back to Nigeria and lived with my family for nine years. I ran my own management consultancy while I was here.
The other part of this is that I am at a stage in my life that it is time for service. I have always lived the life of service, but I feel right now that I need to be doing more in terms of spreading wealth. I would like to see Nigeria’s wealth spread. I know that people talk about it a lot and I know that a lot of people are doing good things. It is just how we get synergy, pull together to make it better.
Nigeria is a very wealthy country and there is absolutely no reason why anybody should not be able to have a decent meal a day and there is no reason why anybody should not be able to send their children to school, maybe not at the same level. There is absolutely no reason why Nigerians should not be educated. When we are educated we do extremely well and we go to build and develop other countries. You hear that a Nigerian is the best Neuro-surgeon in America or you hear this or that Nigerian is the best solar engineer in Switzerland.
