Service record
35+ years in Lagos State classrooms, 20 years inside the Nigeria Union of Teachers, 3 traditional titles, and work that reached 12 communities across Ibeju-Lekki.
The record is not a list of milestones on a brochure. It is the shape of a working life: teacher, principal, organiser, and a familiar presence in the public life of home.
