Returning to Port Harcourt, he enrolled in their PhD programme, which he completed in 1996 with a specialisation in Policy and Strategic Studies.

For the most part of his career, Professor Aja has been in the academics and related areas of occupation. His teaching career started in 1990, when he joined the Abia State University as Assistant Lecturer. He was promoted to Lecturer II in 1991, Lecturer I in 1994, Senior Lecturer in 1997 and Reader in 2003. He achieved the pinnacle of academic career in 2007 when he was promoted to Professor.

He has published ten books, 21 chapter contributions, three monographs and 18 articles in local and international journals. In addition, he has served as External Examiner for seven universities and has sat on the editorial boards of four refereed journals in Nigeria.
