He has held several positions in The Nigerian Society of Engineers NSE Benin Branch including Technical Secretary and Financial Secretary and National Committee member on Industry and Academia Relationship. His research area is on environmental engineering. Ways of controlling Environmental Pollution – Oil Spillage and Gas Flaring. Carbon emission, Carbon capture and carbon footprint. Carbon Emission the release of greenhouse gases (mostly CO₂) into the atmosphere. The Source: It happens whenever we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil, or gas for electricity, heating, and transportation. The Effect: These gases trap heat, leading to global warming. Carbon Footprint the total amount of emissions caused by an individual, event, organization, or product. Personal level: It includes your travel habits, the food you eat, and the energy you use at home. Product level: It counts everything from raw material extraction to manufacturing and shipping. Carbon Capture the technology used to prevent CO₂ from entering the atmosphere or to remove it once it’s there. Point-source capture: Scrubbing CO₂ directly from factory smokestacks before it escapes. Direct Air Capture (DAC): Using giant fans and chemical reactions to “pull” carbon out of the open air. Storage: The captured carbon is usually compressed and pumped deep underground into rock formations for permanent storage.

He has experience in the banking sector, & marine time sector. He has attended many training Courses with certifications including; STCW ’95 (Section A-V1/1-3) (a) Personal Survival Techniques PST, (b) Personal Safety and Social Responsibility PSSR, (c) Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting, (d) Elementary First Aid, International ship & Port facilities Security Awareness , Oil tanker familiarisation, Proficiency in survival craft and rescue Health Safety and Environment HSE, HSE Training Institute, Occupational safety and Health Administration (OSHA), General HSE Certificate of Completion, SEDIN Pro-Poor Growth and Promotion of Employment in Nigeria Program, Benson Idahosa University Consulting services: Leadership, communication skills, Emotional intelligence EI, Attitude and performance, computer skills., JMJ consulting ltd: Project management, Personal effectiveness, H.
