    She has a law degree from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. She also has a master’s degree in Law from King’s College London.

    She later joined Zenith Bank and Standard Chartered Bank respectively.

    In 2011, she joined Enterprise Bank as an executive director of the bank’s operations in Lagos and other locations in the South-Western region in Nigeria.
