About Valentine Benjamin

With over 7 years of experience in journalism, I've dedicated my career to uncovering stories that matter. My reporting covers a range of critical topics, including global health, development, human rights, environmental issues, and social justice movements across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Based in Lagos, I contribute to leading publications worldwide. My work, published in both English and French, has been featured in reputable outlets such as the Stanford Social Innovation Review, MIT Technology Review, The Guardian (UK), and The Christian Science Monitor, among others.

I also serve as the Africa correspondent for Retreading Business, a UK-based publication where I cover the retreading industry across the continent.

I'm well-versed in using nearly all social media tools and have embraced multimedia storytelling. This includes filming, producing, and scripting my pieces, along with incorporating drone photography to enhance the visual experience.
