Over the past decade in UK and Nigeria , interests have been focused on founding and

advocating the following foundations/list of causes: World Citizens in Pain, Suffering,

3

Page 4: UPDATED PROFILE(FOR GREAT MEN AND WOMEN OF SCIENCE CAMBRIDGE).

Labour with Dignity, Peace and Freedom; World Children Creative and Personal

Development Fund; Institute for the advancement of Ebonyi Friendship and Hospitality,

Igboji Ola Idike Centre for Ancient and Modern History and Civilisation; Idike Igboji Ola

Centre for Governance and Citizenship; Institute of Paternal Fraternity, Institute of Maternal

Fraternity; Abakaliki - Ekumenyi and Afikpo - Edda Radio/TV/Web amongst others. Over

65% of career expression of will in UK (in retail and hospitality industries) and Nigeria have

been assigned to the realisation of these causes/foundations with the support of members of

families, friends, well wishers and all people of the world who share and cherish the dreams,

visions and mandates. These causes will be championed during the course of services to the

university, state, country and the world and shall continue after retirement till the legacy

moves on from generation to generation (world without end but with transformations). The

Board of Trustees of these foundations are: The Apostolate of Jesus Christ, The Apostolic

Palace, 00120, Vatican City.

As graduate researcher, Centre for Environment and Society/Department of Biological

Sciences, University of Essex, UK between October 2001 - October, 2006 was part of soil

health research group. The work centered on C fluxes and sequestration in grassland and

woodland ecosystems under various levels of land management using field, laboratory and

model approaches. The modeling accounted for 7 periods of English agriculture (8050 years

comprising the prehistoric, historic, agricultural revolution, post agricultural revolution, green

planet and post green planet. CENTURY 4.0 MODEL was chosen in view of ease of

configuration to diverse ecosystem.

Apart from the quantification of levels of greenhouse gases particularly CO2; their impact on

climatic change and their sink on ameliorating these conditions; other subject areas studied

included the nutrient dynamics of such ecosystem, particularly C and N, exploration of

enzyme activities (cellulose, urease, phosphomonoesterase) and the extraction, quantification

and qualification of soil humic acids using chemical methods and 13C-NMR Spectroscopy.

Respiration as an index of microbial activities were measured in the field and laboratory with

auto analyser and chemical reagents respectively. These methods helped to account for

autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms roles in C-flux.

In the course of PhD studies at University of Essex, was invited to taught courses in the

Interdisciplinary Centre for Environment and Society that cut across the Departments of

Biological Sciences, Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, Economics, Essex

Business School, Government, School of Health and Human Sciences, School of law,

Literature, Film and Theatre studies and sociology. Courses cut across sustainable agriculture

and environment, eco-literacy, environmental law, environmental economics, environmental

politics, environmental governance, statistics for social science, sociology of human rights,

environmental health.

Permission was also given to attend first degree and masters courses in molecular methods in

ecology, environmental molecular microbiology, protein technology, plants, genes and

agriculture, environmental technology, research methods, marine environment, global energy

resources, global climatic change, biotechnology and genetic modification, ecology,

sociological approaches to science and technology, ground based remote sensing of weather,

conservation, water pollution biology, plant and soil response to elevated CO2, wastes and

pollution in pre-industrial society, bio treatable wastes, gene technology, capitalism,

industrialism and modernity, econometrics, process technology, air pollution.

Prior to joining Ebonyi State University in 1998 started as Agricultural Assistant in Training

on 24th February, 1983 at the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, old Anambra

State, Nigeria charged with the formation and organisation of young farmers club in selected

secondary schools. Rising through the ranks of Assistant Agricultural superintendent on

Agriculture. Under NALDA, supervised the procurement, and distribution of farm inputs

namely: seedlings, fertilisers, agrochemicals with adequate technical support to organised

farmers of Ukehe in Igboetiti Local Government and the recovery of the costs on periodic

basis in the areas of oil palm, cassava and maize farming in over 7200 hectares of well

developed land.

Within this period worked as Secretary, Think Tank on Agriculture charged with the full

blueprint and execution of agricultural programmes of Enugu state especially on irrigated rice

farming using N26.7 billion irrigation equipment imported by the State Government from and

with full technical support of Israeli Government. Before the Think Tank work served as

Corp Liaison Officer, Arochukwu Local Government of old Imo State, Nigeria in the course

of youth service.

Following the creation of Ebonyi State out of Enugu State on 01.10.96; citizens of the new

state relocated to Abakaliki. Rose to the rank of Senior Agricultural Officer of the Ministry of

Agriculture and Natural Resources, Abakaliki (back dated to 01.01.95) working as
