1. Professional Summary
A self-driven individual with the ability to work independently and part of a team. My
experiences of over 14 years and performances as both an Administration officer exposed me to
several responsibilities such managing people and handling several positions like Procurement
Officer, Head, Inventory & Mailroom Management and Customer service officer. As a
procurement officer, I implemented cost control measures to ensure operations remain within the
organization’s target. During my tenure as the Procurement Officer, I represented the secretariat
to the Cost Management Committee of the bank where deliberations on contracts are held and
cost savings are achieved based on effective win-win negotiations. In my current position as a
Head, Inventory and Mailroom Management, I have been able to reduce the level of wastages
especially as it concerns stationery consumption across the network by my constant
reminders/titbits on ways to reduce costs as propagated in my regular Stationery Consumptions
reports. This has immensely created needed awareness on the management of limited resources.
Additionally, my role as a mailroom manager and my on-the-spot tracking initiative constantly
put our courier vendors on their toes as packages are tracked on-the-go. The Hub and Spoke
process has continued to increase and sustain our international trade customers whose shipping
documents are constantly time-bound. These positions have improved my commitment and
aptitude to work with the ability to achieve excellent results. Having obtained a Masters in
Business Administration (MBA) at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, I
thrive to further develop a career possibly within the Oil and Gas industry. My non-academic
experiences include but not limited to social planning, organization and charity donation
program. During my leisure, I engage in some other activities such as jogging, singing, and
playing hide and seek with my child. . I strive to work with a team whose ultimate objective is
to be the best.
