My name is Charles Ukpong. I'm from Ikot Udo Ide Ubium in Nsit Ubium LGA of Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria. I read electrical/electronics engineering at the Rivers State Polytechnic Bori in Rivers State, Nigeria, from the year 2000 to the year 2004, where I obtained a Higher National Diploma in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, and the following year I left for the National Youth Service Corps program in Iseyin Camp in Oyo State, Nigeria, between March 2005 and April 2006.
I finished and left for a job hunt in Lagos, where I secured a teaching job at Living Stone College in Ketu and handled physics and mathematics. Then in September 2007, I got another job at JMG Nigeria Limited as the company safety officer until September 2009, when I got employment in a telecom company called IHS as their field service engineer, and I was transferred from the company's head office at #41 Aboyede Street to Uyo for their newly acquired contract as an MTN telecom infrastructure provider.
I was given a team to work with as their team lead and CLUSTER to manage up to 30 base stations to maintain, so each day we will be going to the field to maintain a generator through periodic preventative maintenance and sometimes corrective maintenance when the situation calls for it, so after 3 years the contract signed by IHS with MTN came to an end.
I joined another company called Linksoft Communications as their company field maintenance engineer, so I was posted to Port Harcourt, precisely Rumuokoro, as their team lead. I was assigned to a crew team where about 25 sites were assigned to me to be maintained periodically preventatively, so normally I go out for a call at odd times to power up site base stations, and a Will be sent to NOC to confirm that the site is up on power. This will be done without passing the MTTR of the site to rescue this downtime in power. At times, if the location of this site is down in a high-risk area, security patrol must escort us safely from going to our coming back to our engineering lodge at Rumuokoro in the year 2013. I got another job at 101.1 Planet FM at Ibiaku Uruan in Uruan LGA of Akwa Ibom State, where I worked as a technical engineer from November 2013 to October 2018. I left work because of a layoff due to the global
economic meltdown. In the year 2020, I joined IPT Power Tech as the company chief security, where I have been working to date, providing protection to the company's amenities through coordination with the police patrol team and calling out from the site guards at odd hours to make an arrest on hoodlums that besieged the
site.
