He is a professional, holding memberships in bodies such as the Nigeria Institute of Public Administrators (FNIPA), Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM), and Professional Secretaries of Nigeria (FPSN), among others.

His track record highlights his capabilities as an effective leader and educator, setting a solid foundation for his new role as the acting rector of the Federal Polytechnic Oko.
