About Me

Translational Reproductive Health Scientist in the Making

I am a Public Health Professional and M&E Specialist affiliated with the Adamawa State Primary Health Care Development Agency, Mubi, Northeast Nigeria. My academic foundation spans Zoology (BSc), Food Science, and Public Health (MPH) — a cross-disciplinary base that powers my work across health systems, data science, and clinical research.

My long-term identity is that of a Translational Reproductive Health Scientist — bridging population health evidence, clinical embryology, and data analytics to address reproductive medicine gaps in one of Nigeria's most underserved regions.

Through GIDA TECH TECHNOLOGIES NIG LTD, I build data analytics capacity across Northeast Nigeria, training professionals in tools from Excel to AI-integrated workflows. I am also actively building toward the establishment of the Golden Age Fertility Center — a phased, community-rooted reproductive health institution in Mubi, Adamawa State.

Clinical Embryology & Assisted Reproduction

Advanced Clinical Embryology Practice

Hands-on training and protocol development across the full assisted reproduction pathway — from gamete handling to embryo transfer — built on internationally recognized clinical standards.

My clinical embryology training (St. Jude Fertility Institute & IVF Worldwide) covers the complete laboratory and clinical workflow of assisted reproductive technology — semen analysis, oocyte retrieval support, fertilization techniques (IVF/ICSI), embryo culture and grading, vitrification, and embryo transfer.

This foundation directly informs both my systematic review work in embryology and the clinical design of Golden Age Fertility Center.

Golden Age Fertility Center

Bringing Reproductive Medicine
to Northeast Nigeria

A long-term vision — methodically built, scientifically grounded, and rooted in the needs of a region almost entirely without access to fertility care.

Why This Matters

01

A Region Without Fertility Care

Northeast Nigeria has virtually no dedicated reproductive medicine infrastructure. Couples travel hundreds of kilometers — or simply go without care.

02

High Burden of Male Infertility

Primary research across 6 states reveals significant knowledge gaps and cultural barriers that prevent men from seeking diagnosis or treatment.

03

Clinical Training Underway

Enrollment at St. Jude Fertility Institute (Clinical Embryology & Andrology) and IVF Worldwide specialist modules are actively building the scientific and clinical foundation.

04

Evidence-Driven from Day One

Three peer-reviewed SR/MA protocols in clinical embryology and ART ensure the center will be built on best evidence — not guesswork.

The Mission

Golden Age Fertility Center is conceived as a dual-purpose institution: a clinical reproductive health facility and a research & training hub — designed for the realities of Northeast Nigeria and built to serve the community it calls home.

Phased implementation ensures sustainability. Revenue from GIDA TECH training and M&E consultancy directly funds clinical training and equipment acquisition, with grant pathways identified for facility establishment.

  • First andrology laboratory in Mubi, Adamawa State
  • Expanding to IUI, then full IVF over a structured multi-year timeline
  • Merck Foundation Africa fertility training scholarship identified as primary funding pathway
  • Research output feeding directly into clinical protocol development
  • Long-term vision: Regional center for reproductive health research and ART training
  • Registered as Golden Age Fertility Center under dual health & training mandate
Phase 1
🔬
Andrology Lab
Semen analysis, sperm quality assessment, male factor infertility diagnostics. First dedicated andrology service in the region.
Phase 2
🏥
IUI Services
Intrauterine insemination for couples with mild to moderate infertility factors. Minimal invasive, accessible entry point for ART.
Phase 3
🧪
Full IVF & ART
Complete in vitro fertilization, embryo culture, vitrification, cryopreservation. A first for Adamawa State and the wider Northeast.
Phase 4
📚
Research & Training Hub
Clinical embryology training, SRHR research, and reproductive medicine education for the entire Northern region.
