I am a young Nigerian with a major background in the Geosciences who has chosen the Oil and Gas industry as a main area of focus.
My work involves looking at the subsurface to find oil and gas in order to meet the growing demand of the world I live in a very sustainable manner. Being a Nigerian makes this more interesting because our nation is blessed with a very prolific delta where we source most of our petroleum resources.
My focus is to develop key competences in exploring and producing hydrocarbon, and with time develop key business competences to champion a meaning development of natural resources in order to have a win-win situation for the owners of the resources and the investors.
I am interested in business development opportunities that can drive the utilization of gas resources which seems to be the key to industrialization in my country. Having conducted research in the sphere, I know that the opportunities are limitless.
Together with my professional interest, I am an entrepreneur who takes calculated risks in investing in the agricultural sector. My experiment in the last few years has been mind blowing and I see this industry as a key one in employing the teeming youth population in Nigeria
I am quite passionate about young people and helping them to develop their potentials so that we can all grow together in the building of a great nation. Therefore I am an advocate for youth empowerment, and this makes me ask unending questions from our leaders. My passion in leadership and politics thus derives its energy from this source. Hopefully, I can make a little more difference in convincing my generation to demand more from ourselves and the generation currently leading us.
Arsenal football club is my choice of football team because of the fluid football they play.....I hope I can have a local team to follow passionately as the Nigerian premiere league evolves.
In the nearest future, I hope my projects in agriculture and gas utilization will yield the kind of results I desire. This way, I would can reach more people through my work than my talk!
I am married with a wonderful son....and still counting! I will be glad to engage people in my sphere of interest.
