      In the past 6 years, I have managed several environmental studies (ESIA, EAR, compliance monitoring, and scoping study) for some key development projects in Nigeria. These include the proposed Kano-Maradi Standard Gauge Rail Development Project; an international rail project, which connects Nigeria with the Niger Republic. Others are the proposed Lekki Deep Seaport and Harbour Development Project and Enyimba Economic City Development Project; Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) Warri and Calabar Ports, LADOL Helipad and Thermal Desorption Unit development projects, among others. Specifically, I develop project charters, coordinate baseline data-gathering and subject matter specialists, and work mostly as the lead author of technical reports required for regulatory approvals.
