"Before starting my role at Martha's Dream Academy I had been teaching at Primary and Secondary schools allover the World since I finished school. Around 10 years ago I moved back to Nigeria where I married my wife, had two children and worked managing my security business. Being the son of Martha and a Native of this village gives me the strengths to work every day harder to achieve my mother's dream and give a bright future to our students".
