I am a lawyer from Nigeria and have lived in Cairo for about a decade. I am a father to three lovely children, two who are currently studying at MBIS. I am very family oriented, which I believe aligns closely with the ethos of MBIS. In my spare time, i enjoy football (an avid Arsenal fan here!) and relaxing with friends.. As an MBIS parent of over 5 years, I am keen to leverage my experience in board matters to ensure the management of all MBIS matters with a recognition of the needs of our diverse community while ensuring that the best interest of the school is safeguarded and the compliance with all applicable regulations and rules is respected.
