His qualifications span from his early education at Auchi Polytechnic Auchi to his extensive work experiences, including serving as a former Assistant Secretary at NUJ, Delta State Council, and as the Pioneer Government House Correspondent at DBS Warri.
Moreover, Nwaeke’s accolades for community service, including a yet-to-be-celebrated chieftaincy title bestowed upon him by HRM Obi Albert Iyeke I I, the Obi of Igbodo kingdom in Ika North East local government area of Delta State, underscore his dedication to both professional excellence and community development.
Notably, he is a devoted family man, married with three children and fostering several others, demonstrating a commitment to not just professional endeavors but also to nurturing and supporting the broader community.
