About Me

My Story

My journey as an Industrial Production Engineer began during my industrial training at Emzor Pharmaceutical Industries, a leader in Nigeria’s pharmaceutical sector. It was a pivotal moment—my first real taste of production on an industrial scale. I witnessed firsthand the delicate balance between precision and efficiency that keeps a pharmaceutical line running smoothly. From monitoring equipment to understanding Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), I learned how essential consistency and compliance are in ensuring quality health products.

Eager to broaden my horizons, I later undertook my final year project at CHI Industries, a major player in the FMCG space. Here, I delved deeper into process optimization. I contributed to a project focused on reducing production downtime through preventive maintenance strategies. It was challenging work, but it showed me how impactful data-driven decisions can be on operational efficiency.

After graduation, I took a short-term role with the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) at the Oyo State Airport, in the engineering division. Transitioning from manufacturing to aviation infrastructure was a unique shift. I supported the maintenance of critical equipment and systems that ensure safe and seamless air navigation. The precision, safety protocols, and technical depth of the aviation environment enriched my engineering experience and taught me how versatile my skills could be.

Each stage of my journey—from pharmaceuticals to FMCG to aviation—shaped my understanding of production systems and engineering problem-solving. More importantly, it fueled my passion for continuous improvement, safety, and innovation across industries.

My First Industrial Training Experience – Emzor Pharmaceuticals

My first industrial training experience at Emzor Pharmaceutical Industries was a defining chapter in my professional journey—intensive, challenging, and incredibly rewarding.

As a young intern stepping into the structured, fast-paced world of pharmaceutical manufacturing, I was met with a steep learning curve. The environment was rigorous, governed by precision, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to quality. From day one, the expectations were clear: excellence, accountability, and a willingness to learn fast.

The program was physically and mentally demanding. Long hours on the production floor, detailed exposure to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and hands-on experience with standard operating procedures were just a few components of my daily routine. I rotated through various departments—including quality control, production, packaging, and warehousing—each offering its own unique challenges and insights.

I learned the importance of compliance, attention to detail, and team coordination in an industry where a single oversight could compromise product integrity and public health. I witnessed the discipline it takes to maintain regulatory standards and the effort that goes into ensuring every batch of medication meets exacting specifications.

But beyond the technical knowledge, this training built my professional resilience. I was pushed out of my comfort zone, faced real-time problems, and was required to think critically under pressure. It tested not only my competence but also my character—teaching me humility, patience, and perseverance.

That experience at Emzor didn’t just expose me to the real-world application of theory—it groomed me. It laid the groundwork for my professional mindset and helped me develop the tenacity, work ethic, and analytical skills I continue to rely on today.

Looking back, I am deeply grateful for that rigorous training. It was gruelling, yes—but it was also transformational.

My Graduate Training at CHI Industries – A Period of Maturity and Transformation

After the intensity of my first industrial training, my graduate training at CHI Industries marked a new, more matured phase of my professional development. I entered the program not just with foundational knowledge, but with a stronger sense of direction, self-awareness, and a growing understanding of what it takes to thrive in a complex, competitive industry.

CHI Industries provided a broader platform for me to deepen my technical competence, sharpen my problem-solving skills, and truly apply the lessons I had learned earlier in my career. Unlike my first experience, where I was mostly absorbing, observing, and learning, my time at CHI required me to take initiative, lead small projects, and contribute meaningfully to operations.

I had the opportunity to work across various departments—ranging from production and process optimization to quality assurance and supply chain logistics. This multifaceted exposure allowed me to see the industry from a strategic, end-to-end perspective. I began to appreciate not just how things work, but why they work the way they do, and how every function interconnects to support organizational efficiency.

One of the most defining aspects of my time at CHI was learning to operate with ownership and accountability. I was trusted with real responsibilities and expected to deliver results. I learned how to collaborate across teams, how to communicate effectively in a corporate setting, and how to balance speed with precision in decision-making.

More importantly, this period helped shape my leadership potential. I mentored junior trainees, contributed to continuous improvement initiatives, and started thinking like a professional—not just about the task in front of me, but about the bigger picture: customer satisfaction, regulatory compliance, innovation, and long-term sustainability.

FIRST JOB

A Brief Stint at the Oyo State Airport – Lessons in Resilience

My time working at the Oyo State Airport was short but impactful. It was an experience that, although brief, added a unique layer to my professional journey and taught me valuable lessons in workplace realities and personal boundaries.

I joined the airport team eager to contribute and gain exposure to a dynamic, service-oriented environment. Despite the initial enthusiasm and willingness to adapt, I was quickly confronted with challenging working conditions and a lack of financial remuneration, which significantly affected both morale and professional sustainability.

The harsh realities of the role—unpaid salaries, inadequate support systems, and a generally strained work environment—presented difficult but necessary lessons about the importance of organizational structure, employee welfare, and professional self-worth. It became clear that staying in that environment would not allow me to perform at my best or grow meaningfully.

With careful reflection and after exhausting all options for resolution, I made the decision to leave the role in pursuit of healthier, more professionally enriching opportunities. While it was a tough call, it reinforced my commitment to working in spaces that value people, promote ethical standards, and enable growth.

Looking back, I carry forward from that experience a deeper sense of resilience, discernment, and professional clarity—qualities that continue to guide me in every career decision I make.
