With no chair and table at home, I studied on the mat throughout my six years of primary education. Sometimes through the night when I prepare for external examinations. I was privileged to have an uncle – Mr. F.G Nodolomwanyi who served in my village as Headmaster in my early days. He became a reference and a mentor from then till today. Through my encouragement, inspiration, and desire to be like him, I excelled and came out with DISTINCTION in my primary school leaving certificate examination.

ASORO GRAMMAR SCHOOL, BENIN CITY (1976 – 1981).

My high school experience was a transitional experience and mixed feelings. The transition from being a village boy with native experience to a city was like a fish out of water in the beginning. I was mocked, embarrassed, and sometimes cartooned. I remembered my first day in the hostel. With no car, my dad carried my foam on his head, my bucket, and other stuff on my head to check-in. The students waited for my dad to leave, and the next two days were mockery and jest in the hostel. I was cartooned in the school journal. That was a pure baptism into city life. Friends, that did not stop me. I came out as one of the best students in the school WAEC and I served as a prefect.

NITEL SCHOOL, OSHODI – LAGOS (1982 – 1985).

My foundation in the field of ICT/Telecoms engineering started at the NITEL school. The school was academically very tough and there was no room to play around. I came out with an excellent NATIONAL DIPLOMA in Telecoms Engineering and was immediately absorbed by the then Nigerian Telecommunications Ltd (NITEL).

RIVER STATE UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, PORT-HARCOURT (1999 – 2004).

After several years of working and the quest to acquire more knowledge and enhance my capacity, I enrolled in a degree program. Despite the discomfort of combining work with schooling and family, I came out with a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)  Degree – second class upper division (2.1) in Electrical Technology.

THE UNIVERSITY OF CUMBRIA, UNITED KINGDOM (2013 – 2016).

Again, the quest and desire to enhance my life and business capacity drove me to enroll in a master’s program in the UK.

This was another tough program, but I came out successfully with a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in Leadership & Sustainability.
