Executive Director

At CoreStart Education Inc., I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to unlock their full potential through education. This belief has been the driving force behind my journey. Growing up in Nigeria, I witnessed firsthand the immense challenges faced by children who lacked access to quality education. Those experiences left a deep mark on me and ignited a sense of responsibility that I could never ignore.

Even after moving to the United States, my commitment to the children back home never wavered. For over twelve years, I used personal funds to provide scholarships, school supplies, safe learning environments, and mentorship programs to support underprivileged children in Nigeria. Seeing these children thrive has been my greatest reward, but I soon realized that the need was far greater than what I could address alone. The statistics are staggering: 1 in 3 children in Nigeria—10.5 million at the primary level—are out of school, the highest number in the world. Beyond that, 12.4 million children have never attended school, and 5.9 million have dropped out early. These numbers represent untapped potential, unfulfilled dreams, and futures left uncertain. I am inviting you to join me in this journey. Together, we can break barriers, unlock potential, and create brighter futures for countless children who deserve a chance to succeed.

In response to the educational crisis facing millions of children in Nigeria, CoreStart Education Inc. was founded. For me, CoreStart is more than an organization—it’s a movement. It’s a collective effort to give every child the opportunity to dream, learn, and succeed. Inspired by the founder’s vision, CoreStart has grown to expand these life-changing efforts to a larger scale, reaching more children and communities than ever before.
