, Nigeria. He was born in Umuahia,in the old eastern region of Nigeria. Okoye later became a British citizen in 2005.
He obtained a Bachelor of Science degree (B.Sc) from the University of London and a doctorate degree (PhD) in Radio Astronomy
from the University of Cambridge
in the United Kingdom
. Okoye was the first black African to obtain a doctorate in Radio Astronomy.
Okoye was a fellow of the Nigerian Academy of Science as well as the Royal Astronomical Society
of the United Kingdom. He was a member of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs
. He was a member of the New York Academy of Sciences
, International Network of Engineers and Scientists for Global Responsibility
and the International Astronomical Union
.
He started teaching Physics at the University of Ibadan
in 1965 and later transferred to the University of Nigeria
, Nsukka (UNN)just before the outbreak of the Nigerian civil war
. He was elevated to a professorship in physics in 1976. Between 1978 and 1989,Professor Okoye was appointed the Director, Division of General Studies, Head Department of Physics and Astronomy; Associate Dean and later Dean of the Faculty of Physical Sciences, all at the University of Nigeria.He was elected as Dean of the School of Post Graduate Studies in 1987. Professor Okoye also acted during the summer of 1978 as Vice Chancellor of UNN.
Okoye published numerous scientific papers on Ionosphere Physics, Solar Physics, Theory of Extragalactic Radio Sources and Cosmology. He also published a monograph, Viable and Affordable Policy Objectives for a Nigerian Space Programme in the 1980s and co-edited two books: Basic Science Development in Nigeria: Problems and Prospects, and the World at the Cross-roads: Towards a Sustainable, Equitable and Liveable World.
Okoye served Nigeria in a number of capacities including:
(i) Member of the Federal Government delegation to the World Administrative Radio Conference in Geneva 1979;
(ii) Member of the Federal Government delegation to the United Nations Conference on Peaceful Uses of Space in Vienna, 1981;
(iii) Member of the Federal Government Panel charged to produce an integrated energy policy for Nigeria (1984);
(iv) Chairman, Court of Governors of the Awka Campus of the Anambra University of Science and technology(ASUTECH), (1988–1989);
(v) Member of the Governing Council of Anambra University of Science and Technology, Enugu (1988–1989).
At international level, Okoye was a part-time consultant to the United Nations on the development of Space Science end Technology in developing countries (1979–1986). From 1990-93, he was appointed a visiting Professor/Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Astronomy, and Fellow Commoner at Churchill College at the University of Cambridge. In December 1993, Okoye was seconded from the University of Nigeria to the Federal Government as Director (overseas liaison), initially at the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) Lagos, and subsequently the Nigerian Ministry of Science & Technology
Abuja, where he also served as the pioneer Science attaché
and Head of the Science and Technology Unit at the Nigerian High Commission, London.
