He also had work experience with CTL Cable TV in 2002 as Sports Presenter. In November 2002, he joined Silverbird’s Rhythm 93.7 FM as Sports Reporter and then producer.
After four years, in 2006, moved to Lagos with Goal Newspaper as sub-editor, then Kickoffnigeria.com as a Senior Journalist.
On return to Port Harcourt in 2009 he joined up with Cool/ Wazobia FM as Head of Sports in 2010 and then Today FM in 2013.
