About Me
My Story
Dr. Abner had a large part of his childhood in the village, learning the culture and tradition of his people. Coming from a lineage of royalty, that didn’t make growing up any easier, especially with grandpa and grandma around to dish out all the instructions and to also ensure they were adhered, to the later. Such a position comes with the highest form of responsibility and dexterity.
It is one thing to go to school and totally another thing to allow the drills and rudiments of the four (4) walls of the school become a part of you. He sucked all that in, which formed part of his drive, career, and in general life pursuit; and specially the way of family life.
He derives pleasure in reading and imparting knowledge, both formal and informal. Similarly, he takes joy in problem solving, team building, networking with people at a deeper level far beyond hi and hello. He provides exceptional solutions to problems and takes special interest in research findings.
Oil and Gas has been his career path and passion for 20 years, now having worked in the finance sector for 10years; but he enjoys farming, traveling and constructive sessions at his spare time.
Currently, he advices the Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources as Technical Adviser on Midstream & Downstream and on the entire oil and gas value chain in Nigeria. For Dr. Abner, every moment, every relationship, every encounter, every minute counts and nothing too negligible to ignore in finding solutions and he pays attention to details.
He is happily married to his lovely wife Barr. Martha and the union is blessed with three (3) beautiful and exceptional children, Kashari, Kunari and Khinmari
