As an advocate for food security and the empowerment of smallholder farmers, I am deeply committed to leveraging tailored extension training using good agronomic practices (GAP), providing access to financing in the form of quality input loans, and linking farmers to profitable markets. Through the out-grower model, I have had the privilege of serving over 50,000 rural small-scale farmers who were previously unable to acquire sufficient inputs to cultivate their land due to poverty and a lack of access to financing.With 7+ years of experience working in rural communities of Kaduna, Bauchi, Kano, and Katsina, I have onboarded and organized smallholder farmers and managed teams of contract and permanent staff. My core responsibilities include ensuring business profitability at the end of each fiscal year, working with the finance team to ensure appropriate fund management, planning and strategizing, team management, analyzing data, and overseeing loan recovery. I am proud to have achieved an 80% and above financial recovery rate for loans given to farmers each season and have personally cultivated over 10,000 hectares of maize, soybean, and rice while working with over 20,000 farmers over the years.My experience in operations management and agribusiness has also included leading expansion projects and launching new operations from scratch. As a tech enthusiast, I am always eager to learn new skills and improve my problem-solving abilities, and I am passionate about continuous growth and development.
