Princess Bada worked briefly at the Town Planning Office, Kosofe Local Government, and later attended Gateway Catering Institute. Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to establish Predema Catering and Boutique Services, providing exceptional services in catering and hotel management.

Her passion for politics led her to join the Alliance for Democracy (AD), which later transformed into the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and eventually the All Progressives Congress (APC). In recognition of her dedication and loyalty to party issues, she was nominated by APC as Vice Chairman, a position she held until 2014.

Her unwavering passion and efforts earned her a second term nomination as Vice Chairman in 2017.

Beyond politics, Princess Samiat Abolanle Bada is dedicated to serving humanity by putting smiles on people’s faces, especially the less privileged. This dedication led her to create the Foundation for Improved Livelihood, an NGO aimed at improving lives.
