She was formerly key member of the energy, natural resources and infrastructure practice of a leading full-service law firm in Nigeria.

Jumoke routinely advises clients on policy, regulatory, transactional and project development issues across the energy sector value chain. Her recent deal experience includes advising a project sponsor on the development of a $3.5bn integrated gas and methanol production facility, a global LNG midstream infrastructure company on the development of an integrated LNG-to-power project; a Nigerian exploration and production company on the negotiation of production sharing contracts with the Government of Uganda during the first competitive licensing round in Uganda, a gas producer on the supply of gas produced offshore Nigeria to a power plant in Ghana via the West African Gas Pipeline, and a Fortune 500 global oil service company on its contractor financing transactions with a number of upstream oil and gas operators. She has also provided support to government agencies in Nigeria on formulating policies and reforms that promote infrastructure development through public-private-partnerships.
