Writing for the Miva Blog

15+ published under my byline · 2024

Prof. Yemi Osinbajo’s keynote at the second matriculation. The former Vice President gave the keynote at Miva’s 2024 matriculation in Abuja. The piece carries his full address alongside the framing that explains why it mattered for a university whose whole argument is that education has to change.

NUC approval for 4 new bachelor’s degree programmes. A regulatory milestone written for two audiences at once — prospective students who care that the programmes exist, and an ecosystem that reads NUC approval as a credibility signal. Vice-Chancellor’s quote, inspection detail and facilities list, without letting it collapse into a compliance notice.

The Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers visit. Partnership storytelling — positioning a stakeholder meeting inside Miva’s wider growth narrative rather than reporting it as a diary entry.

Masterclass with H.E. Dr. Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu on paediatric cancer care. An event recap that had to carry real clinical substance and still work as public-facing content.

A visit to the National Universities Commission. Institutional engagement written to reinforce regulatory credibility and momentum.

Ghostwriting for founders and executives

Tech founder · LinkedIn · 12 months

Everything else on this page went out under my byline. This didn’t, and that’s the point — thought leadership only works when nobody can tell someone else wrote it.

Roughly monthly LinkedIn posts across 12 months for a tech founder, though the cadence followed their schedule rather than a content calendar.

The whole job is voice. Not what I’d say about the topic, but what they’d say, in the rhythm they’d actually say it — which means reading everything they’ve already published and listening to how they talk before writing a line. Get it wrong and it reads like a comms department. Get it right and their own team can’t tell.

I can’t name the client or link a piece. That’s the arrangement with ghostwriting, and I’d rather say so plainly than gesture at work I can’t show.

Email that made people post

Miva Maiden Convocation · June 2026

Five days out from convocation, the job was to turn graduands into publishers. Not “share your photos” — a specific ask with specific mechanics: tag @mivauniversity, use #MivaConvocation2026, and request collaboration on your posts so we could co-publish them to the main account.

Second person, short paragraphs, no institutional throat-clearing. The close was 3 lines: this is your moment, your achievement, your story.

436 pieces of user-generated content followed, up 848%, with the campaign hashtag carrying 188 mentions. Post-event social listening report · June 2026

The email

Subject: There’s nothing quite like watching our community celebrate.

Hey MivaStar!

Five days to go! Can you believe it?

We’ve been thinking — there’s nothing quite like watching our community celebrate in their own words. Your journey through Miva has been unique, and we genuinely want to see how you choose to mark this moment.

We want to celebrate this moment with you — loudly, proudly, and all over social media. Tag us in your convocation posts, stories, and reels so we can repost and collaborate with you on the official Miva accounts and share your moment with the whole Miva community.

Want to make a collab post with us? If you’re posting convocation videos or photos, request collaboration on the official Miva Open University account (@mivauniversity).

Tag @mivauniversity, and use #MivaConvocation2026 in your posts across all social media platforms so we don’t miss a single moment.

We will be following the conversations, sharing your memorable moments, and celebrating the incredible stories that make this milestone so special.

This is your moment.
Your achievement.
Your story.

And we can’t wait to tell it with you.

How I write

  1. I write for the person, not the institution. Most organisational writing is drafted to satisfy internal stakeholders and it reads that way. I write to be read by someone who owes the brand nothing.

  2. I find the actual news. Every announcement contains one fact that matters more than the rest. That fact goes near the top, not in paragraph 6 after the background.

  3. For press, I write it the way I want it printed. A release that needs rewriting doesn’t run. A release an editor can lift almost whole does.

  4. Short paragraphs, plain words. If a sentence needs a second read, it gets cut.

  5. And I write the ask clearly. The convocation email worked because it told people exactly which handle, which hashtag and which button — not because it was moving.

  6. And I measure whether the words did their job. Opens and clicks for email, referral sessions and time on page for editorial, pickup for press — then I show it as a clear before and after, so the next brief is written from evidence rather than instinct.
