Isah Usman

I am a Nigerian citizen with vast experience in education programs, governance and basic health with many years of engagements with communities, experience on conflict management and settlement of internally displaced people on top of my expertise working with formidable State/ local structures like the State Ministries of Education (MoE), State Universal Basic Education Boards (SUBEBs), Ministry Of Justice, State House Of Assembly (SOHA), Ward development committees, Head teachers, Teachers,  Facilitators, Gender officers, LCOs, Birth  attendance, Community mobilizers, SBMC/CBMC, Mother’s associations and Local government champions.

 I was an education administrator who started as a classroom teacher to the rank of a director of Education/guidance and counseling with state Universal Basic Education Board, Sokoto, Nigeria. I am social commentator of child abuse, and injustice emphatically to the less privileged members of the society. I championed the course for the protection from sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA) in schools/communities and dignified the personality of boys/girls, orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) as a result of conflicts and violence and also frowned at Gender Based Violence (GBV) in all its ramifications
