His 5-Year Experience as Accountant at Defence Health Maintenance Ltd.

He has the privilege of serving as the Pioneer Accountant at Defence Health Maintenance Ltd (DHML) for a period of five years, a role that significantly deepened my expertise in financial management within the healthcare and public sector framework.

During this time, he was responsible for overseeing a broad spectrum of accounting functions, including budget preparation, financial reporting, internal controls, payroll management, and statutory compliance. His work involved close collaboration with the finance team, auditors, regulatory bodies, and senior management to ensure accountability, transparency, and alignment with government financial standards.

At DHML, which plays a strategic role in the Nigerian health sector, particularly in the administration of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) for military personnel and their families, he was entrusted with managing sensitive financial data and supporting the efficient deployment of healthcare funding.

His role demanded a high level of integrity, accuracy, and confidentiality, especially given the organization’s link to the Defence Headquarters and the Federal Ministry of Defence. He contributed to system improvements, strengthened reporting processes, and helped ensure the timely remittance and reconciliation of financial transactions across multiple HMOs and health facilities.

This five-year experience not only sharpened his core accounting skills but also shaped his leadership capacity, policy understanding, and strategic thinking attributes that continue to guide him in his broader career pursuits today.
