Background
Patrick Edet Imoh was born at Surulere in Lagos State on 16 of September, 1986. He attended the Providence Heights' Secondary School, Lagos between 1997 and 2003, then went further to study Electrical/Electronics and Computer Engineering where he majored in Computer Engineering at the University of Uyo (2005-2010). He completed his National Youth Service scheme with Arsenal Computers in Mabudi, Langtang South LGA of Plateau State between November 2011 and October 2012. During his National Youth days, he was elected the National and Plateau State President of the National Association of Catholic Corps members - NACC, an office he couldn't take possession of because it required that he be resident in the restive town of Jos, which he declined. Knowing his worth in public administration and that he had declined the offices of the National and Plateau State Presidency of the NACC, he was appointed to lead the Catholic faithfuls of Langtang South LGA which he accepted in good faith.
