Education and Professional Journey

Zacchaeus began his primary education at African Baptist Primary School, Iree, while living with his grandmother at Ile Odofin, as his parents worked on the family farms. As a young man, Zacchaeus started life independently, initially living with his maternal uncle in Jos, where he secured his first employment with Cadbury PLC. From Jos, the family relocated to Lagos, where he would spend the rest of his life, building a remarkable career and ministry that would touch countless lives.

In Lagos, Zacchaeus joined the renowned ECWA-owned Challenge Bookshop during its golden years. Here, his dedication and exceptional work ethic became evident as he rose through the ranks, collecting numerous laurels and eventually ascending to the position of Manager. His leadership at Challenge Bookshop was characterized by mentorship and encouragement of colleagues, establishing him as a natural leader even in secular employment.

Driven by his love for education, Zacchaeus pursued part-time studies in Accounting at the University of Lagos during the academic sessions, balancing his demanding schedule as a family man and dedicated worker in the service of God.
