Tokunbo Ige
I am a lawyer by profession with over 30 years of experience working in the field of human rights and more recently, on issues of peace, security and disarmament in Africa. I am just about taking a break from my UN career to follow my passion. My last post has been as the Director of the UN Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament in Africa.
As a certified Trainer, Speaker, Coach, Mentor and founding member of the JMT I am committed to working with like minded persons to expound throughout Africa, the principles and philosophy of personal development for transformational leadership that I have been exposed to in the past 7 years. My primary target in the immediate future is to reach out to the French speaking countries, beginning with Togo, Benin, Niger, Côte d'Ivoire and Senegal.
Here's an extract of the way in which someone recently introduced me, " A devoted woman of faith and mother; ‘Tokunbo is a strategic thinker and trail brazer with a track record of “thinking outside the box”; doing things differently and providing solutions.
Tokunbo draws practical and invaluable knowledge from her wealth of experience and insights that impacts and inspires many to adopt a positive self-image and follow their passion in business or in the work place. According to her, “excellence is my attitude”.
‘Tokunbo is a clear and persuasive orator, with a great sense of humour; she speaks English and French fluently.
