Osben Oji, National Training Director
Osben Oji is National Training Director at Haibridge Institute and Principal Architect of the Harvardbridge group. He is an engineer, educator and executive with thirty years in technical education and fifteen across telecommunications, cyber security, network systems and vocational training.
