Summary of Profile

I was born at Uhueze, Obeagu in Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State. I started my primary education at Central School, Obeagu in the year 1982 and finished in 1988. I went to the Community Secondary School Obeagu for my Secondary Education in 1989 and finished in 1994. In 1996, I went to the University of Nigeria and obtained Diploma certificate in Public Administration with emphasis on Personnel Management in 1998.

I had a brief spell in politics and was elected the Secretary, Grassroots Democratic Movement, Nkpor Ward II in 1997.

The quest for further studies took me to Anambra State University of Science and Technology Uli, in 2000, where I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science with Second Class Upper Division in 2005. I proceeded to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in 2006, where I obtained a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree in Political Science specializing in International Relations. Since 1999, I have worked as school administrator and teacher. In December 2009, I was employed a lecturer in the Department of General Studies where I taught Citizenship Education and International Relations for several years before I was re-deployed to the Department of Public Administration in 2013, following the establishment of the Department in 2013. Since re-deployment to the department, I have been teaching Citizenship Education, International Relations, Introduction to Public Enterprises Management, Communication and National Development, Introduction to Entrepreneurship, Practice of Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurship Development and Research Methodology.

I have published six (6) articles to my credit in learned journals both local and international and two (2) book chapters in standard text books.

I have attended a total of Thirteen (13) conferences, national and international both within and outside Nigeria. I have also attended several workshops in the polytechnic.

I have served in various capacities in various committees in my department, school of management studies and in the institution.
