In addition to his work at Faith Alive and at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), he teaches undergraduate and post-graduate students/residents as Professor and Head of Department of Chemical Pathology at the University of Jos and JUTH. He served as an appointee of the Nigerian President on the Medical and Dental Council Board of Nigeria from November 2013 to August 2014. He is an external Examiner for the National Post-Graduate Medical College of Nigeria and several medical schools in Nigeria. His surgeon wife, Dr. Mercy Wakili Isichei, is an Associate Professor of Surgery and volunteers her surgical expertise at Faith Alive in addition to working as a Lecturer and Consultant General Surgeon/Surgical Oncologist at the University of Jos and JUTH.
