Brilliant Nigerian Makes History in the United Kingdom

Ignatius Akpabio, an Indigene of Akwa Ibom state, has won the British Petroleum Prize for the best project on the course at the School of Computing Science and Digital Media’s 2016 Annual Awards Ceremony of the Robert Gordon University, UK.

A Nigerian Masters student who has graduated with distinction from Robert Gordon University (RGU) in Aberdeen is also celebrating picking up an industry prize for his academic performance.

Ignatius Akpabio (23),graduated with an MSc in IT for the Oil and Gas Industry in July, and was awarded the BP prize for the best project on the course at the School of Computing Science and Digital Media’s annual awards ceremony.

Ignatius said:

“I feel very excited to have won this prize as I didn’t expect it and I’m very grateful to the best project supervisor anyone can have, Dr Iain Pirie, for been very supportive of me during the implementation of my MSc project.”

Ignatius decided to embark on the course due to its unique nature in the higher education sector, as well as the growing importance of the oil and gas industry in his home country.

“Oil and gas being the major source of GDP in Nigeria means that the future of the country might well depend on the sector,” he said. “I’m a strong proponent of the ‘Nigeria of Tomorrow’ and therefore, in every possible way I want to contribute my own quota to the development of my country. 

“Coming from an IT background, I would like to use IT to develop and improve the oil and gas sector.”

Ignatius developed an inventory management system for an oil and gas servicing company as part of his MSc project, which was able to monitor and ensure effective management of goods to and from the warehouses and also record sales and purchases of goods while automatically updating stock levels with each transaction. 

He said: “Implementing the system was very challenging as it consists of a lot of functionalities. It was developed as a web application to aid authorised access from anywhere around the world as long as there is connection to the internet.”

Ignatius added: “The MSc course content itself is a very rich one which encompasses modules from core oil and gas engineering, petroleum geoscience and information technology. 

“I have found my time at RGU very rewarding and the School, alongside dedication on my part, has helped me improve on my software development skills. 

“Thanks to lecturers like Dr David Lonie and Dr Angela Siegel, I found software development very interesting and this enabled me to excel exceedingly well in both modules.”

Despite offers to stay back abroad, Akpabio has resolved to return home to pursue the Nigerian dream!

Well done my guy! You have truly represented Nigeria well. Coming home is a very good decision you've made. This tells that you have something very huge and important you can impact to the Nigeria ecomony. Nigeria is a very huge market and you will excel in Nigeria. Thank you for being a good compatriot Nigerian, my friend. We are so proud of you!!!

Nice write up copied work shaa until the last sentence.

Wtf is Nigerian dream ?

So you dont want to collect £100,000 per annum working in UK ? Studying in RGU wont make you immune from sack in this current recession ridden economy..

Na wa for una, no be RGU wey 95% of the students studying for their Masters there are Nigerians? It's like dipping your cup in the ocean and celebrating that you came out with a cup filled with water, na sand wan dey there before?

lol if u see the speed i take open the news i come see akpabio am still happy for the ekaites e no easy

D r smarter than the igbos and yoruba the problem then was that their parents didn't go to skul. The igbo and yoruba people are just too proud and noisy and they often look down on other tribes- especially the igbos.

There is difference between pride and PRIDE. One means believing in ur self, ur self esteem. While d oda is d kind of pride in which u belittle odas, are arrogant and can do anything to make sure people notice you(typical igbo behavior)

The use of calabar or hausa as house help is d igbos trying to spoil d nem of oda tribe. D claim to be good in English but usually sound silly when they speak.

Nollywood is igbo infested industry. They have successfully ruined it. If u really are watchful u wld notice that all the actor are igbos why because of their notice me kind of behavior which made d oda tribes to walk away. And they act shit. I prefer a yoruba movie to it. They most annoying thing is that they mockingly call d akwa Ibomites Biafran so they can fulfill dia lustful greed for the oil. An average akwa Ibom person is richer than the igbo and live in a better environment.
