Edochie has organised exhibitions and artists gatherings and has had various critical essays and reviews written about him in the media. In 2000, he was specially commissioned to paint the portrait of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.

In November 2004, Edochie represented the art community as a delegate at the Commission for Africa Conference in Dakar, Senegal. He was also one of the photographers that exhibited at the 5th Bamako Photography Biennale, Mali.
