DR EMMANUEL UDOSEN - TOO PROFILED TO BE IGNORED.

By Emma Akpabio 

In an era where professionalism is a pivotal tool for an effective discharge of legislative functions, re-evaluation of the Academic background and  indepth assessment of a candidate's political antecedent/ achievement is too important to be overlooked.

Dr Emmanuel Udosen is indeed too profiled to be ignored by the good people of Abak state constituency,  Come 2019.

Born on March 27th,1974 to the royal family of Obong Anthony Udosen of Eka Nto Obo in Midim Clan of Abak LGA,  Dr Udosen attended St Paul's school, Utu Etim Ekpo where he obtained his FSLC in 1983.

He obtained his WASSC from Queen of Apostle Seminary, Afaha Obong, in 1989.

In 1997, being found worthy in learning and in character, the University of Calabar presented to him, a B.Sc in sociology.

On completion of his first degree and in his quest to understanding the society,  human social interaction, the rules and processes that bind and separate people not only as an individual but also as members of an association, Dr Udosen obtained a masters Degree (M.Sc) in Development sociology in 2005. Five years later,  he obtained a PhD in industrial sociology.

To be fully equipped for public service and to avoid being  ignorance of any law,  he went in for a  degree in Law in the University of Uyo.  After a successful completion of studies,  Dr Udosen proceeded to the Nigeria Law School and was called to Bar in 2013.
