He is a lecturer in the Department of Crop Science and Horticulture, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Anambra State, Nigeria.

He obtained his B.Agric. (Crop Science and Horticulture) from Anambra State University (Now known as Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University)Anambra State, Nigeria with First Class Honours and his M.Sc. (Plant Breeding and Genetics) from Federal University of Technology Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria with the same class of degree.

He is a member of Crop Science Society of Nigeria and also a member of Genetics Society of Nigeria. He has published and attended several professional conferences, his research interest is in the development of crop varieties suitable for production in South-eastern Nigeria, effect of different soil amendments on crop productivity, intercropping of several crops, consumption and acceptability pattern of developed crops, and development of new technologies for efficient and effective crop production and he has published in these areas.
He is currently running his PhD in Crop Sciences in the University of Reading, United Kingdom with the dissertation research work on “Assessment of the nutritional characteristics of hybrid maize (zea mays L.) produced from QPM and local Nigerian landraces and destined to fresh consumption” under TETFUND scholarship.
As a sound intellectual, Okoli, Evans Ebuka won the Vice Chancellor’s Award as the overall best graduating student in the University for 2011/2012 session which was presented during the convocation ceremony of 2013/2014 session.
