Grew up in Mopa, Kogi State but was born in Lagos State, Nigeria. I have since visited other countries in mainstream Europe, England, Australia, Japan and United States of America on Aerospace related subjects.
As a co-founder of Innovations to Society Foundation, I work with the group, our partner organizations and other interest groups in order to achieve our aim of bringing innovative technologies to better the lives of the rural dwellers in Africa.

EarthSpace is involved in technology consulting and implementation in areas of Aerospace, Renewable energy & Climate change, Satellite communication systems, Scientific but people-oriented education, Specialized trainings, Statistical & research activities, Project implementation, and Business development.
Researched on tasking processes that would improve the rapid response capability of the SSTL-DMC satellites constellation to be able to respond in event of disasters. On the basis of simulations using satellite tools Communication Blackout Time (CBT) was arrived at, and defined. In addition, I worked on the Ground Segment IP network designs for efficient and assured Space/Ground satellite data sharing and multicasting opportunities. Recommendations were consulted by at least one commercial satellite imagery company in the wake of the South-East Asia Tsunami disaster.
