As the founder and Chief Development Officer of Social Impact Consulting formerly Trullyunique Limited, she teaches seminars to ensure organizations are able to realize the power within to enact change in society. Efua received her B.S. in Chemistry from Saint Xavier University, Chicago and her M.B.A. in Public Administration from Keller Graduate School of Management. In addition, she received a First Bank Sustainability Certificate from Lagos Business School, and a Social Sector Management Certificate from the Enterprise Development Center.

Through the inspiring work of Nigerians around the country, Efua as content creator hosts a podcast "The Development Sector Series where she interviews Development Experts regarding how they started and run successful organizations. This enables knowledge exchange in the Civic space in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, she produced and directed the content of the Anambra State elections in 2017, and Civil Society’s collaborative effort in Voter Education through the “Vote Not Fight” campaign. Currently, she produced a multi-part documentary UNTOLD IMPACT, about the role of Civil Society in Development.
When the United States left Afghanistan in 2021, I had an epiphany! If Civil Society Organizations did not make an impact on Nigerian democracy, governance, and humanitarian interventions, we would have sunk into a black hole of a failed state status. This UNTOLD IMPACT had to be told and I am humbled to take on this task.
