As seen in my accompanying resume, I have a Bachelor degree in Pharmacy, an MSc and a PhD in Pharmacology and i am currently running a Master’s degree in Public Health and a Master’s degree in logistics and transport. I also have for years’ experience in clinical and public health practice, five years’ experience in community primary healthcare services, over nine years management experiences in community pharmacy practice, combined with a very strong academic background in research, instructing and mentoring students, and other fields related to your industry. I have served as a Senior Hospital Pharmacist in Kaduna state Ministry of Health and at NTBLTC Saye Zaria, Federal Ministry of Health. I have served in Saudi Arabia as a pharmacist in the Nigerian National Medical Team for Hajj 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2022. And having accompanied clients for foreign medical treatments in India (Artemis Hospital,) and Saudi Arabia (Saudi German), I understand the level of professionalism, team work and communication required for long-term success in your organisation. A strong aptitude with Google workspace and MS Office packages like Access, Word, Excel and PowerPoint helps me in decent and organized representation of my work.
I am proficient in public speaking and adept at sharing knowledge with varying audiences. I have demonstrated this through research publications and seminars, community facilitations and radio programmes that I presented at work places, international conferences, trainings and in the course of my degrees.
I have taken courses on cancer, HIV, malaria, immunization, pneumonia, family planning, Logistics and supply chain, transport and pharmacovigilance; I have lectured students and served as resource person on them during the course of my career, and have been practicing these services in Secondary health facilities, my community pharmacies (Phamib Pharmacy Nig LTD) and in a primary healthcare centre for the past ten years.
My ability to combine both academic practices and community based healthcare services give me an edge in team playing, time management, administrative, communication and organizational skills. I might not have the required experience for this role, but I have the requisite knowledge, motivation, energy and enthusiasm for it. I am also not yet forty (40) years old.
Although I am enjoying my present job, I am looking out for new opportunities in your field and am desirous of utilizing my acquired skills and experiences to advance the cause of your organisation. I would therefore, appreciate the opportunity to discuss how my education and experience will be helpful to you.
