I am a final-year BSc Chemistry student at Federal University Dutsin-Ma, Nigeria, with professional diplomas in Data Analytics, Procurement, and Legal Writing & Drafting. As a data analyst and procurement specialist, I combines rigorous evidence-based thinking with a deep commitment to doing the most good.
Driven by effective-altruism principles, I focuses my academic and professional work on high-impact areas within global priorities, and building long-term human flourishing. My ongoing research and community projects—ranging from green-chemistry solutions for carbon sequestration to data-driven reforestation initiatives in northern Nigeria—are carefully chosen for their potential scale, neglectedness, and tractability.

Through Nigerian youth sustainability networks, the YALI Network, and active engagement with the Effective Altruism community, I works to translate impartial reasoning and scientific evidence into tangible impact for present and future generations.

I am particularly excited about Cause X exploration: identifying the next crucial, neglected, and solvable problems where analytical skills, chemistry expertise, and altruistic dedication can generate the greatest possible good.

How others can help me

I’m determined to apply evidence-based reasoning and my scientific background to the most pressing and neglected global problems, especially at the intersection of climate change mitigation (Effective Environmentalism), clean energy access, and safeguarding long-term human flourishing.

To maximise my impact over the coming years, I would greatly appreciate any support the community can offer. A 20–30 minute career call with anyone working in high-impact Effective Environmentalism , policy, or operations (particularly at organisations like Clean Air Task Force, Carbon180, Founders Pledge Climate, ALLFED, or Nigerian think-tanks) would be incredibly valuable as I decide between earning-to-give paths in data/procurement, direct research (MSc/PhD), policy entrepreneurship, or routes I haven’t yet considered. I’m also seeking ideas and potential supervisors for an EA-aligned final-year project—ideally low-cost carbon-capture materials, biochar optimisation for northern Nigerian farmers, or open-source catalyst research—that scores highly on importance, tractability, and neglectedness.

Small-scale funding ($200–$2,000), in-kind tool access, or micro-grants for pilot projects (data-driven reforestation monitoring, rural biogas systems, sustainable procurement training for youth) would allow me to test promising interventions immediately. I’m open to short remote volunteering or paid contracts involving data analysis, literature reviews, or grant research for EA-aligned organisations, and I’d be honoured to speak at Nigerian universities or YALI chapters about using evidence and reason to do the most good in sustainability.

Finally, introductions to EA members working on cause-prioritisation or Cause X exploration in the region—would help me collaborate and build momentum faster.

Effective Altruism is about finding the most impactful way to make a change and impact wouldn’t be found in guesses, we have to take scientific approach—weather surveys or research.
