ABUJA,NIGERIA

Summary

as a seasoned energy professionsl with a strong engineering background, I bring over a decade of experience in power systems and infrastructure management to my current role as coordinator facilities at total energies, previously serving as head of power generation, I led the successful execution of the first standard turbine exchange (overhaul) at the port harcourt office power plant - a landmark project that restored full operational capacity, improved efficiency, and set a benchmark for future maintenance protocols.

this high-impact achievement demonstrated my ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, manage complex skills and deliver mission-critical results within safety, time, and cost constraints.

now in facilities coordination, i apply that same precision, technical depth and strategic foresight to ensure totalenergies facilities operate efficiently sustainably and in full compliance with global standards. i am committed to aligning facility operations with the company's broader energy transition goals-driving operational resilience, energy optimization and excellence across all support systems.
