Habiba had always wanted to be a doctor from when she was young, but her parents said that won’t be ideal for her because of her temperament, so she decided to study her favourite subject; French and got a job in a French Bank when she came back to Nigeria.
“I was doing corporate affairs at the bank, and I discovered that I had a flair for organising things and making everything go smoothly. People realised that I had flair for it as well, and were asking me to help them. I found it very fulfilling helping other people through my organisational skills.” She said. When she discovered there is a discipline called Organisational Development, she went to study it to become a professional. Since then, she has been doing Organisation Effectiveness.

Balogun has often helped to raise her voice for the voiceless. According to her, “With the challenges in Nigeria’s education sector, I joined hands with other people and we started a school. Back then, several children were kidnapped from school and nothing tangible was being done about it. I did my best by putting pressure on the government, so I joined the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) movement. I also joined WISCAR to help young, talented and hardworking girls on how to break barriers.” She revealed.
