Queen Elizabeth Okwum

The Nigerian Alumni Association is one of the most active in the global alumni network. Working with last year’s Alumni Award winner Faith Osiobe, the success of the Association is down to a team effort, and our winners Joy Duncan, Okeoghene Ekere, Uruemu Esiri Oghen, Queen Elizabeth Okwum and Lola Olaide-Stephen are receiving their awards in recognition of great team work.

Queen has been working as an HR Manager in a multinational company based in Nigeria as well as managing her own business focusing on consultations and sales.

In spite of her busy workload, Queen supports the Port Harcourt/South South and East zone of the network offering her time and support.

Queen said: “With the interest and zeal shown by Faith setting up the Nigerian Network, I volunteered to help support and coordinate one of the zones in the Nigeria Alumni Network, and together we have been able to grow the network - and it is still growing. It comes with its own little challenges but it's been an interesting, fun, learning process and above all it has become more or less a family unit I am proud to be part of.”
