He promised to continue to contribute his quota to the profession and industry.
He said being an engineer has propelled him into developmental activities that are at the forefront of the nation’s development and becoming a fellow of the prestigious engineering body will double his efforts in nation-building.
The chief executive officer, a fellow of the Nigerian Society of Chemical Engineers (FNSCHE) who earned his first degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Lagos advised the upcoming generation of engineers to be dedicated to their duties and be accountable in all their undertakings as that will mark them out for greatness.
Starting his career as a Chemical Engineer, recognizing his innate business skills, he focused on business development and the commercial side of the oil and gas business, where he established himself as a consummate business development engineer.
He worked as a business development engineer across different firms before he moved on to establish Amazon Energy Limited in October 1999, thus making a big bold step towards realizing a childhood vision of developing a world-class oil and gas company.
He has led the growth of the company from humble beginnings into a full-fledged Integrated Energy Services provider with interests in the Upstream Downstream (Trading) and Shipping, which presently operates offices in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja (all in Nigeria) and Houston (USA), the group’s Resource and Technology Centre (RTC).
