Summary
From surviving extreme poverty in Nigeria with no formal education until age 12 to becoming a respected engineering lecturer at the University of Bristol, David Etor’s journey is a blazing testament to resilience.

With a PhD from Durham and accolades from figures like Sir Steve Webb, Etor proves that your past doesn’t dictate your future — even when everyone told him he’d never amount to anything, he built a legacy through grit and innovation.
