I founded Rising African Ambassadors [risingaa.com] when I realized that chunk of graduates from the African continent are confused. They need experienced ears that can listen to their confusion and organize their ideas. I carried out a wide survey that validated this claim. We were building Africa’s largest e-mentoring ecosystem but paused it due to sustainability factor. This project is designed to take a new lift by spring 2021.

I am also a believer of ‘volunteering for a start’. I am a member of Young Africa Leadership Initiative -YALI, Edubrainics Africa and Raising New Voices. I had my secondary and college studies in Government Secondary School Owerri and Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Delta state respectively. Based in Abuja and Kano, I hail from Mbaitoli LGA Imo state from the Ohanwe’s dynasty.
