Biography

Engr. Dr Nnaemeka Princewill Ohia, is a Senior Lecturer (Senior Lecturer A05, CONUASS II 5 step 1) in the Department of Petroleum Engineering, Federal University of Technology, Owerri. He joined the department since the 1st of March 2005 as an experienced hire on lecturer II position. Since then, Dr Ohia has progressed steadily to his current position as a Senior Lecturer in the department.

He obtained his Doctorate degree in July 2012 in Petroleum Engineering from FUTO under the supervision of Prof Obah (Principal Supervisor), Prof Godwin Chukwu and Late Dr Aguta as co-supervisors. He had previously received his M.Eng. Degree in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Port Harcourt, Choba. Attached herewith are all his academic certificates and professional training certificates in this appraisal package.

Dr Ohia has also gained valuable “hands-on” industry experience over the years working and consulting with local and international companies such as Shell, Total, Tecon Oil, Chevron, Ghana Petroleum Production Company (GNPC), Saltpond-Ghana, Eni Congo etc. (find evidence as attached in appraisal package).

Dr Ohia is currently a pioneer faculty member of ACEFUELS (African Center of Excellence in Future Energies & Electrochemical Systems) in FUTO – A World Bank-sponsored Post Graduate program. He is also a member of the Information and Communication Committee for ACEFUELS – FUTO. In Dec. 2017, Dr Ohia led the design and development of an online (E-learning) system to enhance student’s learning experience which is currently on a pilot test in the department of Petroleum Engineering and School of Environmental Studies (SOES), FUTO. This online learning platform is designed to be interactive, self-paced and flexible, providing opportunities to improve learners’ performance/experience not only in FUTO, but the Nigerian Industry and Academia.

Finally, Dr Ohia has built a wonderful working relationship over the years with his superiors, colleagues and staff of the University, while maintaining a high quality of work and organizational vision.
