HERE IS MY BIO
Sunday Ogundugba is a Nigerian journalist and blogger. He started writing in his teens for campus magazines and began his journalism career with The Nation as a student correspondent.
He attended Federal Government College, Idoani in Ondo State and the University of Ado Ekiti ,Ekiti State, Nigeria, where he read English and Literary Studies and came out in flying colours.
Studying English was not his childhood dream(he actually wanted to study Law) but he confessed the language has helped a great deal to shape his career as a writer.
He was well known on campus for his articles that deplored the plight of Nigerian students.His undaunting resolve to effect changes with his articles, which received a national readership ,fetched him leadership positions in student unionism.
He also had a stint in Christian youth leadership serving as Zonal Coordinator, Nigeria Christian Corpers’ Fellowship (NCCF), Pankshin during his National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) in Plateau State.
During his one-year mandatory service in Plateau’s coldest village Pankshin, he mobilised his colleagues for a rural outreach called rural rugged evangelism where hundreds of Dila residents received relief materials, got medical attention and renewed their commitment to Christ.
He has written scores of articles and features, especially on Lagos peculiar slums and shanties.,He wrote a novel entitled THE VAGRANTS as his undergraduate project, a feat he described as an opportunity to develop his skills as a prospective novelist. He is a regular contributor to http://www.wavemagazine.net an online web based youth magazines and http://www.nigeriansinamerica.com.
Sunday is presently a metro reporter with THE NATION, the paper that shot him into limelight as a writer. His interests include meeting people, travelling, singing and reading.
He is presently working on his first novel which chronicles his foray into journalism and other youth projects.
