For his tertiary education, he initially attended the College of Education in Awka, Anambra State but completed at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka where he obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Government and Politics Education in 1989.

He attended the Nigerian Law School and was called to the Nigerian Bar in 2004.

He sponsored the motion for sustained immunization to eradicate polio virus not only away from Nigeria but also Africa.^[5]
