He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts from the University of Uyo in 1992 and a Master’s degree in Mass Communication from Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), where he is also pursuing his doctorate. After completing his National Youth Service at the Ogun State Polytechnic, he launched his media career with Newswatch Magazine.

Eze’s career spans nearly three decades, with roles such as Editor of Newsday Newspaper, Deputy Editor of Newsworld Magazine, and Regional Correspondent for South Africa-based AU Media. He is currently an Assistant Editor and South-East Bureau Chief at The Sun Newspaper.

Beyond journalism, Eze has contributed to community development through The Mezie Okposi Organisation, which supports leadership training, cultural preservation, and community service. He is married to Anenechi Eze, and they have five children.
