Kemi Asekun-Shittu

Radio, television and government communications

For about 20 years I have explained complicated things to large audiences: on morning radio, on national television, in a government minister's office, and now online.

About

Abuja · Lagos

I started on Lagos radio, anchoring Lagos This Morning on Eko FM and presenting on TopRadio 90.9 as "Azaria" and later on Raypower. I went on to run a radio station in Abuja, lead presentation at a national television channel, and serve as Special Assistant, Digital Media Strategy, to a federal minister.

Along the way I learned to build the tools as well as the message. I have launched websites, subscription products and an online course for American adults over 50, writing the scripts and building the platforms myself.

I work across communications, media relations and digital content.
