He continues to work at Jos University Teaching Hospital as a chief nursing officer in both the intensive care unit and the high dependency unit. In 2021, he had the privilege of working with the United Nations in Somalia, which gave him the opportunity to travel to other crisis areas like South Sudan as an ICU nurse and an aeromedical transport nurse.

In 2023, he had the opportunity to work with Hospital for Humanity as an ICU nurse. Due to his commitment and interest in working with HFH, he was interviewed by the HFH onboarding team and was subsequently assigned as the ICU and volunteer manager for HFH, a position he holds to date.
