For 15 years I, together with supports from team members, have been using my multimedia skills (a combination of texts, sounds, photographs and videos) and language arts (writing, speaking, listening and reading), to train teachable minds, as well as communicate development issues and corporate organisational goals, through feature news and photo reports, documentary films, news videos, broadcast and film scripts, technical reports writing, book and film editing, alongside academic course developments, which are all geared towards advancing our global community. My communication multi-skills have earned me consultancy, contract, full-time and freelancing job roles with local and foreign organisations, which include Ruptly TV (Germany), Upskill Digital (the UK), WAZAonline—formerly Radio Netherlands Worldwide (the Netherlands); Texas A & M University (USA), Brian Leith Productions (the UK), HD/ SydsvenskanKultur (Sweden); the French Research Institute in Nigeria, and Distance Learning Centre of the University of Ibadan (Nigeria). My ultimate goal is to create global digital platforms where children, teenagers and adults can use multimedia elements, not only to acquire both educational and news related contents, but to explore general activities of life.
