My rise to the position of Permanent Secretary in the Public Service came by dint of hardwork, having distinguished myself as an administrator with exceptional and influential contributions to the growth of the Public Service in Delta State. I was born into the Obuh family of Agbor Oki, Ika South Local Government Area on 27th January, 1957.
