    My name is Adamu Bashir Ahmad, a highly motivated and skilled individual with a diverse background in Agricultural Engineering and a wealth of experience in various sectors. I am from Kano State, Nigeria, and currently reside in the same vibrant city.

    I hold a Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Engineering from Bayero University Kano, with a Second Class Honors Lower Division, and have pursued additional qualifications in Civil Engineering Technology, Computer Maintenance, and Networking, among others.

    Professionally, I am the Co-Founder and Technical Team member of Vertical Farm Ventures Ltd, an innovative agricultural startup focusing on urban agriculture, organic farming, and regenerative agriculture. I am deeply passionate about revolutionizing farming practices to contribute to sustainable agriculture and food security.

    My commitment to education is evident through my role as a Teacher and Examination Officer at the Alkali Buhari and Hajiya Hajara Foundation, where I focus on creating engaging learning environments and overseeing fair examination processes. Additionally, I have a background in adult education and vocational training, where I facilitated computer literacy classes at the Adamu Nakule Adult Education and Vocational Center.

    I recently contributed my skills as a Data Entry at Medicines Sans Frontiers and ALIMA  where I played a vital role in maintaining accurate patient records and supporting evidence-based decision-making.

    Beyond my professional endeavors, I am actively involved in leadership roles, serving as the Program and Event Director for the YALI RLC West Africa Alumni Association of Nigeria, among other leadership positions in student organizations during my academic journey.

    My diverse skill set includes strong research abilities, proficiency in technical tools such as Microsoft Office Suite, project management software, and a keen understanding of environmental impact assessment methodologies.
