Rt. Hon. Cosmos Ndukwe Ph.D
EARLY LIFE
Born 13th April, 1963, Cosmos Chukwudi Ndukwe hails from Akanu Item, Bende Local Government Area, Abia State
Cosmos Ndukwe’s father, James Ndukwe Okpo was a business merchant of the first grade. His mother Jessy Ogbonyealu Ndukwe was a pioneer cake designer in Aba. Cosmos’s early life was marked with tutorials on merchandising, management, administration and most importantly on “learning to fear God” from a mother who was a religious Sharon Rose
EDUCATION
Cosmos cut his academic teeth at Dick Organ Memorial Primary School, Aba. His transition to Boys Secondary School, Osusu Aba was, as he would later admit, more of an admixture of formal secondary education and learning the ropes in business. At secondary school, Cosmos developed the sense of multiple strings of income, helped his parents in their businesses and would make his own money through Off cuts from the garment industry.
In trying to balance education and self dependence, Cosmos gave himself a break after Secondary School and didn’t return to further his education until he was 30 years. Though his mother wanted him to be a man of letters, by sending him to Prof Onwukwe Alaezi, his mother’s younger brother and notable lecturer at the University of Jos, Cosmos instead found Palm Oil trade very lucrative in Jos and would later return to Aba to start his garment business
He was admitted into the Department of Mass Communication at Abia State University in 1997; after he had studied Marketing at Abia State Polytechnic, Aba. He was to later feed his passion for seeking knowledge as he pushed further to acquire a Masters and ultimately a Doctorate degree in Mass Communication from the same Abia State University.
