A lawyer, Boka also served as Chief of Staff for the Governor-General of Ivory Coast in 1957, Minister of National Education in 1958 and Minister of Public Service in 1959. In 1960, he was appointed President of the Supreme Court of Ivory Coast. He headed the Ivorian delegation at the United Nations also in 1960.
