 I have always preferred sciences at school from an early age. I furthered this and graduated with a second Class upper division in Geosciences from Federal University of Technology Owerri Nigeria for Bachelor’s degree. My bachelor’s thesis was on Expansive Soil and the objective of this project is to investigate and determine the suitability of expansive soil in Ishiagu in Akwa South, Anambra state Nigeria as a construction material using lime and lime-fly ash mixtures. The finding of this study shows that expansive soil of Isiagu Area in its natural state of deposition fails to meet the general specifications for construction purposes. It also shows that a mixture of lime and fly ash in the right proportion is the best and most effective and efficient method of stabilizing the Isiagu problem soil relative to the lime stabilization. 

Through the many opportunities I had while in School, I found a deep interest in Engineering, with choice of masters in Industrial Engineering which I completed with Honors from Eastern Mediterranean University Northern Cyprus with specific research interest on Occupational Health and Safety, Industrial Ergonomics and Office Ergonomics. My master’s thesis was Application of Modified Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in Evaluating Operational Efficiency and Environmental Impacts. Part of the findings of the results which has not yet been published showed that every business organization that is succeeding and meeting up with standard of product quality, market quality and cost, are continuously evaluating its operation performances in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses of operations and processes or activities, and find innovative ways to improve its current operation and processes for better products and services. 

I am very positive and happy person who has a mindset that you only get out of life what you are prepared to put in.  I have a big ambitions for my future and I know the only way I will achieve those is if I work hard, persevere and I am prepared to listen and learn. 

Outside of my studies I keep myself fit and active and I enjoy spending time with my family. I also enjoy reading books, fiction and nonfiction and I usually dedicate some time to my own personal development.
