IN NOVEMBER 2005, Kingsley Ojoh earned the prestigious fellowship of the Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists (NAPE), Africa’s largest umbrella organization of petroleum professionals. He took the award a few months after he became Executive General Manager, Geoscience and Reservoir Engineering(GSR) at TOTAL’s Nigerian upstream subsidiary. In just a year after the fellowship award, he was elected President-Elect of the association, in a keenly contested election in which he beat the association’s former vice president, Victor Agbe -Davies, who is Exploration Manager at Amni, the Nigerian independent oil producer. As President-Elect, Ojoh will work for the next one year with the substantive NAPE president, Emmanuel Enu, incidentally his former teacher at the Obafemi Awolowo University 27 years ago.
