My name is Kabiru Onimisi Atta. I hail from the Kuroko area of Adavi LGA and was born on July 19th 1979 in the Oziokutu community, Ogaminana, within the Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi State. I am married to Ozavize Ochu-Atta from Oboroke area of Ihima, Okehi LGA, and we have three children: Simisi, Itopa, and Adinoyi.
Education
My educational journey began at Renny Nursery & Primary School in Inoziomi, Adavi LGA. For my secondary education, I attended Nigeria Military School Zaria and later completed it at Loral Secondary School in Igbesa, Ogun State. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology and Management from the University of Hull, England; a postgraduate diploma in Technology Management & Entrepreneurship from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland; and a Master's degree in Project Management from the University of Salford, Manchester, England. I also earned an executive certificate in Leadership and Management from University College London, England, and currenly a PhD candidate in Information Technology with a specialization in Cyber Engineering & Artificial Intelligence from the University of the Cumberlands Kentucky, USA.
Career
I have built a career spanning over 25 years in the information technology and cybersecurity industry. I started as a tech support engineer at Dell Inc. and have since worked for numerous Fortune 500 companies, including IDT Telecoms, Royal Bank of Scotland, Abbey Bank (Santander), Abuja Technology Free Trade Zone Company, National Population Commission, General Motors, Microsoft Inc., TCB, and KPMG.

Business
In 2020, I launched a tech start-up and invented a digital traffic management system, which is patented in the United States. This technology-driven device and application is a revolutionary public safety product designed to improve the warning and directing of pedestrians, motorists, and other transportation mediums in heightened situations, thereby enhancing public safety.
Philanthropy
From a young age growing up in Okene, I have been dedicated to community service. Responding to increasing societal demands for social responsibility, I founded the Project Second Chance Foundation. Over the past 10 years, my charity have focused on three critical areas: economic interventions through short-term soft grant/token for immediate hardship relief; provision of artisan tools and skill acquisition for medium term goals, medical assistance programs, and educational support through scholarships, sporting competitions and school materials (Please click NGO page to see some of our programs).
