She is currently part of the Nigeria U-20 women’s national team goalkeeping unit.
Her club career has seen her feature for FC Robo, Adamawa Queens, and Rivers Angels, where she established herself as a reliable presence between the posts.

The NWFL Best Goalkeeper of the Week award was instituted by former Super Falcons goalkeeper Judith Chime to promote excellence and reward outstanding goalkeeping performances in the Nigerian women’s league.
