About

As the Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, I lead a team of experts and other stakeholders to design and implement reforms that will enhance fiscal governance, revenue transformation and facilitate sustainable economic growth in Nigeria. I previously worked as the Fiscal Policy Partner and Africa Tax Leader at PwC where I advised public and private sector clients on tax matters, strategic planning and policy analysis across the continent.

With over 20 years of experience in finance, business and economic matters, I am passionate about creating a positive impact through research, education and policy advocacy. I am an author, keynote speaker, strategist and commentator on various media platforms. As a Professor of Practice at the Babcock University and a guest lecturer at the Lagos Business School, where I facilitate courses on fiscal policy, investments and development finance to shape and build competent leaders.

I am an alumni of the London School of Economics, Yale University and Harvard Kennedy School executive education. I am the Founder and President of Impact Africa Foundation, a non-profit organisation that finances education for indigent students, supports youth empowerment and social development initiatives.
