He also holds a Master of Science degree in Defense and International Politics from the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff (GAFCSC) where he was awarded the second-best-written dissertation. His dissertation was written on Terrorism, Emerging Terrorist Hubs, and Its Security Implications in West Africa.

He studied CompTIA A+ and CompTIA N+ (hardware and networking) at the National Institute of Information Technology (NIIT) now called OpenLabs. Aside from this, he does a lot of online studies on the use of software applications, cyber security, graphic design, website development, and database management. All of these abilities, he believes, enable him to be the best he can be in his organization.

Sylvanus loves to write and share ideas on general issues. He loves creativity, and he is the kind of person who doesn’t limit himself to the constraints of just one particular medium or endeavor. For the most part, he is self-taught; preferring to allow his inner muse to guide him, he has learned a lot through trial and error, learning from his mistakes each time. He is driven by his love for aviation, music, IT, and photography.
