A bit about me

After my primary school education,  I gained admission to Ihogbe college Benin city for my secondary Education from 1985 -1991.

I gained admission to study Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi in Edo state, where I graduated as the best graduating student in Telecommunication. I proceeded to Imo state to perform the mandatory one year Nation Youth Service Corp in 1998. I had my internship with Imo Broadcasting Corporation as an engineer. At the NYSC camp, I was voted as the best footballer of the camp in our inter-platoon football competition.

Memorable moments

In July 2000, I was employed as a trainee Engineer with Telnet network service a division of Telnet Group that later became, ipNX Nigeria limited, with the transmission unit handling VSAT installation and microwave installation.

In 2006, I proceeded to upgrade myself in the area of management, at the Lagos State University, Oyo for an executive MBA degree.

In 2008, I was transferred to head the Transmission Unit. Under my lead, ipNX first ever, High capacity (STM1) Radios were designed and installed in all our core backbone links. This was achieved just after I relocated the NOC from Oregun site to Isaac John office without a single downtime to customers. These performances were rewarded with a promotion to the Assistant Manager position.

In February 2010, I was transferred to Abuja office to head the Northern region engineering team comprising of Abuja and Kano office.

Lessons learnt

That nothing is impossible to achieve.

Philosophy of life

Whatsoever your mind can conceive that you can achieve.

I will close out this autobiography with the most important thing in my life, my family. I got married to my wife Catherine in 2003 and we are blessed with two children; Favour Etinosa Onaifo 14 years old and Victoria Ivie Onaifo 13 years old.
