  Worked in the Immunization Services started as Polio Surveillance Officer which was integrated with other notifiable diseases supporting province and district health units in active surveillance. Later in 2002 joined the Polio Eradication Team in Nigeria as Immunization Officer and started implementation of SIAs in the States especially Kano and Lagos for both Polio and Measles. 2006 I was appointed to Coordinate Immunization Services in WHO EPI Office in Nigeria with responsibility of both SIAs and Routine Immunization services. This lead me to be part of the routine immunization services team and started working all units of immunization practice, logistics and cold chain management and vaccine management. 2008 I was appointed to join Tanzania team as EPI Focal Person responsible for Polio Eradication, Accerelated Disease Control and Routine Immunization Services.
