Field Supervisor at Zen Jem Limited
Zen Jem was formed to give institutional shape to a body of experience its principals had already spent decades accumulating - thirty-five years inside Nigeria’s National Population Commission directing national household surveys, sixteen years of donor-funded finance, grants and compliance management across Northern Nigeria, career banking at branch-management level, and professional human resource practice certified in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
Zen Jem Ltd was incorporated in Nigeria in 2025.
