📘 Humble Beginnings — Teaching Under an Umbrella Tree
Born on 18th June 1972 in Abraka, Delta State, Mr. Oghuvwu attended Garrison Army Children School, Minna, and later Army Day Secondary School, Minna.
While awaiting admission into higher institution, his passion for teaching could not be suppressed. Without a classroom or formal structure, he began a group tutorial for Nursery and Primary learners under the umbrella tree in his father’s compound — a defining moment that laid the foundation for his lifelong calling.
