NIMENA National Chairman, Engr. Sylvanus Bags Doctor of Philosophy
The National Chairman of the Nigerian Institution of Marine Engineers and Naval Architects (NIMENA) Engr. Eferebo Sylvanus has started the year 2026 with significant milestone achievements, bagging Doctorate Degree in the field of Naval Architecture and Ship Building in Marine Engineering Department from Rivers State University.
This comes as he has also emerged top from the voting for Maritime Industry Merit Award (MIMA) 2026 along with other notable industry practitioners.
Organisers of the Maritime Industry Merit Award (MIMA) will in coming days announce date for conferment of the prestigious award.
Engr. Sylvanus was last year elected the National Chairman of NIMENA in Port Harcourt, an affiliate of Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) where he vowed to lead the organization to attain international recognition.
He has since set up a journal house where research and development activities will be published, helping to tackle Nigeria’s and sub-regional maritime challenges to contribute to Africa’s development.
He has since initiated efforts to tackle poor regulatory standards and lack of enforcement mechanism in the maritime sector which hitherto caused the country huge losses in revenue.
His leadership has started engaging with regulatory agencies, policymakers and other critical stakeholders for partnership and to raise the status of the body.
Meanwhile, friends and associates have reached out with goodwill messages, congratulating him on both his academic milestone and professional achievement coming very early in the year.
