Christopher Okoh (North West)

Christopher Okoh is a Commonwealth Scholar from Nigeria and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Robotics Engineering at Liverpool Hope University. He holds a bachelor’s degree in both Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Physics from the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti and the Federal University of Technology, Owerri respectively. His diverse background in engineering and volunteering has equipped him with the discipline to harness strengths and opportunities from the diverse scholastic team. 

As a trained UN-SDGs advocate, he has supported good health and wellbeing through his mobile clinic project, and through his spelling bee competition, he has inspired hundreds of college students towards strong intellectual development. In an event organised by Crosswise Works, Netherlands and the Embassy of Netherlands in Nigeria to develop novel approaches that will be used to reduce post-harvest losses, he emerged as the top eight finalist (Nigeria). 

Christopher is currently focused on embarking on AI and robotics research projects that will support smallholder farmers in Nigeria to boost their total crop yield which can lead to improved national food security. These accomplishments show his commitment to impacting positive change both in local and global contexts. Motivated by the desire to drive growth and development, he sought for ways to translate his hard skills to cause change. 

In his role as Regional Network Coordinator for Commonwealth Scholars in the North West region, he hopes to foster awesome networking opportunities through activities that will provide academic and professional advancement and encourage proactive and open communication style among Scholars.
