OSITA CHIDOKA'S ACADEMIC PROFILE



Born in Obosi, Anambra state on July 18, 1971, Ositadinma Benjamin Chidoka is one who has been in public service for most of his working life. After a stint at the Federal Capital Development Authority in 1996, Chidoka, who graduated from the University of Nigeria in 1995 with a degree in Management went on to work from 1997 to 1998 as Personal Assistant to the Minister of State, Ministry of Works and Housing. In 2000, Osita Chidoka worked again as Personal Assistant, this time to the Minister of Transport, Chief Ojo Maduekwe. He held this position until 2003 when his boss became the Senior Special Adviser to the President on Legal Matters and Chidoka became his Special Assistant.
After leaving public service in 2006, Chidoka moved to Mobil Producing Nigeria, a subsidiary of ExxonMobil Corporation, where he was made the Senior Advisor, Government and Business Relations, a position which saw him still hobnobbing with the government of the day. It was from his position at Mobil that, in 2007, he was appointed as Corps Marshal and Chief Executive of the Federal Road Safety Commission, at the age of 36, making him the youngest ever to occupy the office.
Chidoka who was the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) Award winner – Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in 1996 also served as Secretary, National Committee for the visit of Pope John Paul II to Nigeria in 1998.
Other positions he has occupied include;

Now you know, do you think this is another right nomination by Goodluck Jonathan? He appointed Ibrahim Shekarau, a former teacher, as Minister of Education and polytechnic lecturers called off a 10-month old strike a few days later.

If at this age, you still think that the only way to get education is to go to an academic institution, then I think you need to get some real education for yourselves!!!!!

The presidiotic dullard is a very useless mofo. The guy dey fear book pass anything. Very confused and ignorant thing. He can't even read a simple budget. Thunder fire the dulllard there!

Damianbrown:

Jaideyone:
[s]ignorant one. NDA, US war college and all those other NA army certifications he had before he became military head of state are lesser than SSCE right? common sense is really not common.


BTW I hope your moniker is a joke? you can't manage a family with this kind of mindset[/s]

I think Buhari does not want to be a clueless PhD holder like the drunk ineffectual buffoon married to a cantankerous illiterate grammarian wife.

Your comment is CHILDISH. Try to grow up

Damianbrown:
you are the childish one here. No time to utter words with you

Pascal181:
U mumu die. So PhD is equivalent 2 being clueless and drunkenness. If dat is wat ur little sense tells u then u hav a long way 2 go...

legacy4real:
Which academic values did you expect a typical fulani man to add to his value?

To all the fulanis on nairaland, don't take it as an insult, rather take it as a challenge.

Omotolu:
...that's a different issue. The issue here is he is studying a Bachelor of Law degree programme...

wadetaw202:
Of course you are childish. If you are not, you will know that no one is ever too old for anything, except a woman who may be too old for child bearing after menopause.

Obasanjo got a degree at 70.

Kola oyewo got a degree well above 50 and he was his son's class mate.

Education is the same as self development. And self development is a continuous process.
