In a recent study conducted by Perri Precious, a Development Consultant and Research Staff at the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, titled; “The Roles of the Nigerian Youths in Nation Building: Challenges”, the author had insisted that the role of the youth in the nation building is a crucial one.

The youth, Perri argued, have the ability to create an identity for themselves and move their nation forward even in a hostile, discouraging and cruel environment like ours. In the face of this hostility, some youths have been able to distinguish themselves both in personal development, education, training and immeasurable contribution to their country. One of these youths making great exploits and giant strides in their walks of life is our own intellectually radiant virtuoso, agropreneur, administrator, and an oil and gas specialist, Hon. Engineer Michael Ogbuekwe.

Engineer Mike, a certified Member of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (MNSE) and Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), garbed himself with required knowledge and training to do uncommon exploits both in the private sector and public service. His story could be summarized as ‘Gifted Hands’ as titled by Dr Ben Carson’s bestselling book.

After his secondary school education at the College of St. Joseph, Vom, Plateau State, Mike proceeded to the prestigious University of Nigeria, where he bagged a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering.
