“Eddie’s wealth of experience in education, health, and wellbeing through different humanitarian channels to improve lives is a boost to WHIS programme globally”, stated Foluke Michael, WHIS Nigeria Lead and CEO.
Eddie was born in Liberia on May 22nd, 1980 and as a child was forced to live through the country’s nearly 15years of civil war(1989-2013).
He did not allow the horrific traumatic experiences of war to deter him from pushing forward in life. He earned a Bachelors of Science Degree in Economics from the University of Liberia (class of 2005-06). In 2007, he moved to Ghana for a fresh start. In 2010, a few years after moving to Ghana, he began his journey as an actor.
Eddie believes that Africa is going to be a significant part in shaping the future of the world and the youths of Africa are the hope that future. He’s passionate about the rights of the child and of the rights women.
