Sandra Nonyerem Olubunmi Ukoh was born in Benin city, Edo State, Nigeria on Feb 21st 1976 to Rtd Major Augustus Nnebedum and Comfort Olufunmilayo Nnebedum Nee Onabanjo both of blessed memory.

Her father was a military officer and as such was very itinerant. He was ready to move whenever duty called even without a prior notice. This impacted on her early education especially in her formative years. Consequently, she had to change schools from time to time, but that notwithstanding, Sandra excelled through the ever-changing scenes of her early life.

Her primary education started from St Patrick’s Primary School Yaba, Lagos (Pry 1-4) from where she moved to Army Children Primary School at the Maryland Cantonment also in Lagos to complete her higher primary school education (5-6). She moved on to her middle school known as Command Day Secondary School also at the Maryland Cantonment for her first two years. While in her 2nd year, duty beckoned on her military father to be transferred to the city of Ibadan, Oyo state. On getting to Ibadan, she completed her middle school at St Gabriel’s Secondary Commercial School (JSS2-3) and had great honours and sat for the Special School of Science Entrance Examination which she passed and subsequently moved on to the prestigious WESLEY COLLEGE OF SCIENCE Elekuro, Ibadan, the dream of every science student back in the day.
