I am from Abua/Odual Local Government Area Rivers State, Nigeria.
A registered engineer of the Council for Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and a member of the Nigerian Society of Engineers. I have a B.Eng in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Port Harcourt. I occupied the positions of a Subsea Systems Engineer in OneSubsea Offshore Systems Nigeria Limited and a Lead Project Engineer in Hills Company Limited.
Growing up in Port Harcourt with a lot a negative narrative in the tourism sector, I decided to be part of those to change the story. In 2017, I co-founded one of the biggest food festival in the Niger Delta, BOLE FESTIVAL. Where I also doubled as the Brand Strategist. The festival attracted over 11,000 food lovers and 40 different SME’s from Nigeria. This event was not only aimed at showcasing our rich delicacy “bolè” but also to boost tourism in the state and promote plantain farming.
In 2019, I launched the Odual Kugbo Development Forum (OKDF); An initiative aimed at bringing about the social change and improving the life of the Odual People. Coming from an area where the level of underdevelopment is visible to all and the situation seems overwhelming with no hope, this ignited my interest in Community Development. The abandoned road project by NDDC, dilapidated hospitals and schools, blackout for over 15years made me tell my story. The Odual story was featured on Arise News, Channels TV and TVC news with the little effort of the OKDF members. We’ve gotten the attention of the government and we look forward to better days.
As one who believes in “Service above Self” I joined Rotary in 2019, where we pull resources and contribute talent to help serve communities in need. I’ve also recorded great strides as a committed member of the Rotary Club of Port Harcourt Cosmopolitan.
CENTAVILLE!!! A name that rings a bell when I think about sustainable development and CHANGE not just in Nigeria but also in Africa and the Globe. I’ve known Mr Vincent for over 15years, I remember our meeting in 2017 and he told me his vision that struck me and I promised to do the little I can to make it a reality. Here I am, one who is passionate about change. I know with my experience in community development and the wonderful team at centaville we can bring about the desired change Africa needs and make a difference.
