I, Marcus Aja Idoko, am a seasoned technocrat, and academic geomatics engineering professional with stints in various sectors including Federal civil service, University, Federal College of Land Resources, International NGOs, United Nations agencies, and the private sector. I have worked in a national team on a World Bank-funded environmental Management Project, where I collected and managed agricultural land in the national evaluation of land resources degradation and remediation. I was the secretary of a team that worked with SOW-VU of the Free University of Amsterdam, Netherlands on the Climate Impact Mitigation Toolkit for Arable Farming in Northern Nigeria, a project funded by FAO of UN. I lectured and researched widely in the deployment of geomatics and geodesy technology to study human-nature interactions, decarbonization of human activities to minimize carbon footprints, and mainstreaming climate change concerns in every human resource exploitation. I am getting interested in national ownership of timely, relevant quality data/information used to craft Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), National Adaptation Plans, and other inputs required by the UNFCCC and IPCC in meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement.

I have MSc in Geomatics and Geodesy Engineering, from the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, Canada 2015. MSc Geoinformation Science, University of Twente, Enschede Netherlands, 2004. (Netherlands Fellowship Fellow), BTech. Geography with Meteorology, Minna, Nigeria (1990).

I am currently consulting for Decarbonization Integrated Concept Limited and serving as an International Kedi Healthcare in Nigeria.
