I am a lecturer in the Department of Petroleum and Gas Engineering, University of Port Harcourt. My university career started as a basic student to study Petroleum Engineering at the prestigious University of Port Harcourt. Here, I obtained a Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) Degree with Second Class (Hons) Upper Division. I proceeded to undergo the compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). After this, I enrolled for a Masters of Engineering (M.Eng.) Degree in Petroleum Engineering (Reservoir Option) and concluded it within the stipulated time. Again, I was nominated by the University of Port Harcourt for a programme in France titled “University Lecturers’ Skill Enhancement Programme”. My quest for knowledge persuaded me to enrol for a Ph.D. in the same university. I am also an Associate member with the National Registry for Environmental Professional (NREP) USA. As a sound teacher who has deep understanding of Engineering courses, I have produced thousands of graduates that are doing exceedingly well globally. In addition to the above, I have fundamental background in problem-solving and a sound understanding of engineering concepts. I am self- motivated with the capacity or potential to make effective individual contributions within a functional team. Finally, I have good organisational, accurate analytical and planning skills which enable me to meet deadlines and targets.
