Today is #NationalEngineeringDay in the UK, and I have just been reminded of a reason I chose to be an #Engineer - to solve the #energy challenges of #Nigeria, #Africa and the world at large, whilst empowering the next generation of doers, leaders, and thinkers with quality #STEM education.
To think I was once told that engineering isn't quite a discipline for girls; they would normally drop off after a few years of undergrad study. Well, look how far I have come, by GOD'S infinite grace, love and mercy. I have had a fantastic career, as an engineer, an energy professional, working with a company that attracts the best, bold, and brightest to drive energy innovation for a balanced planet, SLB - and helping many more women, across the globe, thrive in #STEM disciplines.
So, to that girl, or young woman, who wants to address some of the most difficult and pressing challenges of this century, improve lives, and generally make the world a better, healthier, and safer place, think #Engineering! And always remember, you can be such a great #Engineer, have a great #Life, and have a fun-cum-rewarding #Career, too! Don't let anyone or anything stop you!
