He holds a Hospital Administration diploma and a BSc Administration degree; both awarded by the School of Administration of University of Ghana, where he did the diploma in Hospital Administration from 1970 to 1973 and the degree in Business Administration from 1975 and 1977.
He worked as a Hospital Administrator within Ghana’s Ministry of Health from 1973 to the end of 1981. In January 1982, following Rawlings’ second coup, he left Ghana to go to Nigeria, where he stayed and taught for nearly five years at Kalabari Girls High School in Buguma. He left Nigeria in August 1986 for United Kingdom, where he has lived ever since. He is heavily involved in charity work and has since 1976 helped several poor and old people in his home town.
His hobby has been writing poems and has written a sizable number of them, though none of his poems has yet been submitted for publication, apart from those that were published in REAL KOSS, a magazine which was being published by The Writers Club, of which he was an member for most part of his student days at Konongo Odumasi Secondary School. Active work made it impossible to have time to take writing more seriously. After retiring from full-time employment nearly one year ago, however, he has spend his retirement time to do some writing, trying his hand on prose writing for the first time. Jungle Blue is his first attempt to get published.vizualizați mai puține
