Autobiography

Frederick holds a BSc. degree in Geology and an MSc. degree in Petroleum Geoscience, both from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Currently, He is a PhD student at the World Bank Centre for Oil Field Chemical Research, University of Port- Harcourt, Nigeria. He is skilled in field geology mapping, sequence stratigraphy, and unraveling depositional settings. Also, He is excited in engaging in activities that build on his research capability, teaching and learning as well as understanding new frontiers. Frederick hopes to someday leverage his degree and skills to become a renowned researcher in the field of Geosciences.
