      Apr 2019 - Jun 2021
      Finance Manager

      Oversaw the project management implementation at International, national and state level of activities and was notable for:Overseeing the a $5 million dollar Nigerian state-led Strategic Purchasing for family planning project at the state level in Lagos, where I led the Project Finance Team on preparation of year on year business case and use of funds, and ensured adherence to value for money by implementing financial strategies, procedures and policies to ensure operational efficiency for successful project execution. I led the development of the Project's budget, using activity-based budgeting and monitored our performance against budget, by analyzing the variances using our workplan of activities to ensure we had a productive burn-rate; and was progressing in view of the overarching project goals and objectives. As a case in point, at the start of the 3rd year of the project, I supported the technical team in reviewing the actuarial costing on pricing of the benefit package in the state health insurance scheme, to ensure that the cost/price of the benefit would be sufficient to cover the benefits within the package.
