University of Ibadan (UI) Centre for Petroleum, Energy, Economics and Law (CPEEL) has produced its first Doctor of Philosophy graduate in Energy and Environment Studies, Dr. Yunus Akintude.
Akintude, who is a former Commissioner for Works and Transport in Oyo State, successfully defended his PhD thesis yesterday.
The director of the centre, Prof. Adeola Adenikinju, described the feat as a dream fulfilled, pointing out that Akintunde was the first to specialise in Energy and Environment at the doctoral level.
He said CPEEL is a centre of excellence in energy training and research. “We train students in master and PhD.
In the last few years, we have had privilege of producing eight PhDs but this is the first time we will have somebody who specialises in energy and environment.
We are good; we are achieving the desired results. It is good to know that the new doctor did his master’s degree here and has also acquired professional experience in the field of energy.
So, it’s a real progress...”
The director said the centre was gaining recognition consistently for producing quality graduates and conducting quality researches that are quite relevant to addressing Nigeria’s energy issues.
