ABRIDGED RESUME:
Dr. Omuku Patrick Enuneku was born to the family of Ojumah Omuku at at his home town of Amai, Ukwuani, LGA Delta State on the 15th Day of April 1980. He had early education at Obioma Primary School, Owah-Abbi, delta state between 1991 - 1993. By 1994 he left for Ibadan where he enrolled for his Senior Secondary School between 1994 - 1997. He Proceeded to University of Ibadan where he graduate with a First Class degree Honour in Industrial Chemistry at the prestigious U.I. The young Patrick was posted to Anambra State for National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) where his primary place of Assignment was Department of Pure Industrial Chemistry, Nnamdi Azikiwe University (NAU), Awka. As Attestation to his meritorious service, he was awarded with ANAMBRA NYSC STATE AWARD 2006. DUE TO HID DILIGENCE, HARDWORK AND DEDICATION TO HIS DUTY DURING HIS SERVCE YEAR AT NAU, He was given automatic employment (retained) as graduate Assistant Lecturer in the same institution (NAU) where he served as a Corp member. He then proceeded for his Masters degree in the department of Pure and Industrial Chemistry of NAU and obtained M.Sc with distinction in Environmental/Analytical Chemistry by 2008. He went further to obtain his doctorate, Ph.D by 2011 in same field of Environmental/Analytical Chemistry. Today, he is a Senior Lecturer in same department.
