Thus, he moved to Portland, Oregon and worked for the county mental health system and rose to be the director (N/NE Community Mental Health Center). From there he moved to Seattle and did a similar job (Administrator of Central Area Mental Health) and to Alaska where he was a city’s director of social services (Mental Health, Developmental Disability, Children’s services, Aging Services, Drug Treatment etc).
After over ten years of managing agencies Dr Osuji decided to return to academia and secured a position at the University of Alaska. He taught Organizational Behavior (Psychology) and Political philosophy. Thereafter, Dr Osuji established Africa Institute Seattle. At the Institute they do research on African issues and conduct seminars on the same topics. Dr Osuji has written on several topics. Some of his books are: Leadership Arts for Africa, Thoughts on Nigeria’s Constitution, Nigeria’s Political Economy etc. Dr Osuji is married and has three children (Ijeoma, Obi and Kelechi).
