What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in geoscience or innovation

I am a dedicated and results-driven Geoscientist with a strong background in petroleum geophysics and a passion for innovation. With a Master's degree in Petroleum Geophysics and a Bachelor's degree in Geophysics, I have developed a solid foundation in the principles and techniques of geoscience. My experience in the oil and gas industry has equipped me with a deep understanding of the technical and operational aspects of the field.

As a Principal Scientific Officer at the Federal Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, I have been responsible for formulating policies for the promotion and popularization of Science, Technology and Innovation. I have also worked as a Geoscientist at Shell Petroleum Development Company Limited, where I was involved in deep prospect exploration and evaluation, and as a Safety Officer at JACH Petroanalytical Services Ltd, where I implemented personal safety and social responsibilities.

I am a Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply Management of Nigeria and have attended various training programs, including Data Analysis for Sustainable Development Planning, Mineral Resources Policy and Contract Negotiations, and Health Safety and Environmental Management. I am a team player with excellent communication and networking skills, and I am proficient in the use of Ms. Word, Excel, and ERP systems.
