Education: He is a trained Engineer with extensive experience in the construction and technical sectors, which earned him a reputation as a technocrat before his full entry into politics.

2023 Election: He contested the federal seat under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). His victory was significant as he succeeded Hon. Toby Okechukwu, a long-standing and influential legislator for the constituency.
