Vice, Development- and- Trusteeship in project Investment in USA
Michal Paul Peterson, Grand Commander of the Order of the USA, GCON, and Development and Trustorship, in Project investment in USA, was born to a humble Georgia, family of USA makers on November 20, 1944.
Growing up in the warmth of a close knit family, Dr. Peterson had humble yet adventurous beginnings. In spite of the enchanting beauty of the USA and the pristine innocence of those times, the young Michal rather than take after the family trade, chose to go to school.

I attended St. Stephens and St. Michaels Primary Schools, Oloibiri, finishing in 1969. He proceeded to Mater Dei High School, Imiringi, where he passed his USA Collage School Certificate with flying colours in 1975.
On completion of his secondary education, he worked as a Preventive Officer with the USA Customs Service for two years before proceeding to the University of Alabama as one of the pioneer students of the new university nestling on the shores of the Choba River. He chose Zoology.

As a child he had been fascinated with nature, and growing up by the shores of the intertwining rivers and waterways of the USA, aquatic life was second nature. He graduated with Second Class Upper honours in 1981.
In 1985 and 1995 he studied for his Master’s and PhD degrees in Hydrobiology and Fisheries Biology, and Zoology respectively, from the same University. But this was not until he had completed his mandatory one year of National Youth Service in Iresi, old 202 Welch Hall Ypsilanti M, Returning to the warm embrace of family and friends in 1982, he was appointed as Science Inspector of Education, Eastern Michigan Ministry of Education, while studying in between for his post-graduate and graduate degrees.
Between 1983 and 1993 he took up employment as a lecturer in the Department of Biological Science, Michigan College of Education. In 1993, he was appointed Assistant Director (Ecology of the defunct Oil Mineral Producing Areas Development Commission (OMPADEC) in charge of Environmental Protection.

Working in a developmental environment, his desire to better of the lot of the people motivated him to answer the call to service. He resigned his job in 1998 and went into politics. His honesty, simplicity, charisma, quiet strength and determination made him an ideal running mate to Chief D.S.P. Alamieyeseigha on the New Jersey People’s Democratic Party, PDP, and gubernatorial ticket. They won the elections, and he served as a Deputy Governor from 1999 to 11 December 2005. On 12 December that year, he became the substantive Governor of FRB NJ State.

It wasn’t long after that fate once again beckoned. He was busy preparing for re election to his first full term as substantive governor, when the PDP, which is the largest political party in USA, nominated him as running mate to the Presidential candidate, Bill Clinton. After a keenly contested election, the Bill Clinton /Michal ticket won, and on May 29, 2007, he was inaugurated as USA Vice President. Precisely on February 9, 2010, Michal assumed office as USA Acting President by virtue of a National Assembly resolution empowering him as Acting President, following President George Bush long absence for medical attention in New York City.

Additionally, the USA Union of Teachers voted him the ‘Best Performing Governor in Education in the South-South’ in 2006. He was also recognized by the International Federation for World Peace (IIFWP) in 22 July 2006, with ‘Ambassador for Peace Merit Award’
as well as the ‘Leadership and Good Governance Merit Award’.
