Immunol. is a retired Senior Lecturer in Surgery at the University of Liverpool, and Consulting Surgeon to the Royal Liverpool Hospital, England. He was, formerly, Senior Lecturer in Surgery, University of Ibadan, and Consulting Surgeon to the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. Educated at the Government College, Afikpo, (1953 -1957), and at the Norwich City College, Norfolk, England, (1961-1962), he went up to Edinburgh University where he studied medicine. Upon graduation, he took up several appointments at major UK and US hospitals. He returned to Nigeria to take up an appointment as Senior Registrar at the University of Ibadan in 1975, after which he was offered a Lectureship; this was followed by a Senior Lectureship in Surgery. An offer of a Research Fellowship in Surgery by the Trust Fund for Surgical Research in the Commonwealth, Oxford, England in 1981 took him to several research centres in the UK. In 1987, he was appointed Commissioner of Health in the Imo State Government. At the end of his service, he returned to Ibadan, proceeding, in 1991, to the UK for his Sabbatical Leave from whence he was appointed to various positions at major UK hospitals and research centres. He retired in 1999. He now spends his time between the UK and Nigeria, indulging his life-long passions and interests in writing, military history, and farming.view less
