He attended Biu Central Primary School, from 1939 - 1943, Maiduguri Middle School from 1944 – 1946, before proceeding to Kaduna College and the famous [[Barewa College]] for secondary school education, which he completed in 1950. Upon completion of his studies at Barewa College, he furthered his education at [[Westminster Kingsway College|Westminster College, London]], United Kingdom, where he studied Accounting between 1954 – 1956, and then later to Northwestern Polytechnic London, United Kingdom between 1956 – 1958. He began his career as manager in training at [[John Holt plc|John Holt Plc]], learning about the business in different branches across the country.<ref name="ogunba" /> Thereafter, he trained as an accountant, in 1959, he transferred services to the regional government and in 1962, he transferred to the federal civil service to work as under-secretary in the Ministry of Industries. Before his retirement, Damcida served as deputy Permanent Secretary or Permanent Secretary in the Ministries of Industries, Trade, Defense and Finance === Career in the civil service === He was seconded to the Federal Civil Service in 1962, where he was posted to the Federal Ministry of Commerce and Industries as a Deputy Permanent Secretary from 1962 - 1965, then later transferred to the Federal Ministry of Finance, to serve as a Deputy Permanent Secretary from 1965 – 1966, before being promoted to a substantive Permanent Secretary position and posted to the Federal Ministry of Trade in 1966. In 1965, he was at the Economic Development Institute of the [[World Bank]] in Washington DC, USA and remained a Fellow of this Institution even after his retirement. Damcida was an ace in his field of work and that earned him and a few of his fellow Permanent Secretaries a reward for good service, exemplary leadership and commitments to nation building. Damcida, remained a Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Trade from 1966, up until 1971, when he was transferred to the Federal Ministry of Defense as Permanent Secretary, until 1976 when he was retired along with his other colleagues, after a change of Military Government that year. In 1968 as the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Trade he was actively involved in the establishment and funding of [[National Insurance Corporation of Nigeria|NICON]], a national insurance company.<ref name="ogunba" /> After the end of the [[Nigerian Civil War|civil war]], a title that could be considered both descriptive and insulting was linked to a group of administrators. An editor of the Daily Times, [[Babatunde Jose]] tagged a group of administrators which included Damcida and others such as Yusuf Gobir, [[Ahmed Joda]], [[Phillip Asiodu]] and Allison Ayide as 'super Permanent Secretaries'.<ref name="ogunba" /> Jose has criticized a move by the Yakubu Gowon led government to increase the salaries of some permanent secretaries whose performance impressed Gowon during a political crisis between 1966 and 1967 and the civil war between 1967 and 1970.<ref name="ogunba" /> Jose critiqued the increase as excessive after the country had just gone through a civil war and coined the term super permanent secretary for the beneficiaries of the salary increase. In 1971, he was the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Defense and became friends with officers such as [[Murtala Mohammed]] and [[Olusegun Obasanjo]], two future leaders that later embarked on mass retrenchment that included the retirement of Damcida.<ref name="ogunba" /> In the 1970s, Nigeria began to implement a construction plan to build military barracks across the country to accommodate personnel expansion during the civil war.

The importation of the product resulted in the congestion of the Lagos port and government incurring payment of demurrage charges as a stipulated in the contract signed.<ref name="hannah" /> This event caught international attention as the cement armada in Lagos.<ref name="hannah" /> === Private Sector Career === Damcida transitioned back into the Private Sector a few years after a successful Civil Service career, through tapping into his network of already established contacts and school relationships. This level of transition, saw him collaborate to build businesses across Banking, Telecoms, Oil and Gas, Manufacturing, Real Estate and General Merchandizing. During his lifetime, he served on the boards of several corporate and non-profit organization, among which were; LM Ericsson Nigeria Limited, FCMB Group PLC, Kewalrams Nigeria Limited, Chanrai Nigeria Limited, Dynamic Industries Limited, Trevi Foundation Limited, Afprint Nigeria PLC, Enpee Industries Limited, etc., He was a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA), among other professional organizations and a Patron of several social and charity organizations. === Family === Damcida maintained a very quiet life.
