Born on 15th December 1968 in a town called Pallam in Madagali local government area of Adamawa state in Nigeria, I was brought up in a family of Mr. & Mrs. Wasinya Pallam. At the age of eight years, I attended primary school education at the Central Primary school Pallam from 1976-1982 where I obtained First school leaving certificate. Having gained admission into Government Junior secondary school Kirchinga in 1983, and proceeded to Government Secondary school Shuwa in Madagali Local Government in 1985, I passed out in 1987 after passing GCE/WAEC O' Level exams with Six credits and one pass in Science subjects.

In 1989 I got admission into the Federal University of Technology Yola, Nigeria, where I graduated with Upper second-class Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering in 1995 as the best Graduate of Electrical/Electronic Engineering Department.
