Ogun State, Zainab Titus, has come first at the 2015 SPE Africa Region
Students Technical Paper contest which took place on April 18, 2015 at
the Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda.
Zainab was selected through a rigorous process in which the SPE
considered over 170 submitted abstracts from African students in
various universities across the continent.
From this, twelve (eight in the undergraduate category and four in the
postgraduate category) were successful and invited in an all-expense
paid to present their works at Makerere University, in Kampala,
Uganda.
Titus presented an abstract on "Analytical Model for Improving
Completion Efficiency and Production Optimisation," a newly developed
diagnostic tool with wide industry applications.
This earned her remarkable approval from the panel of judges and other
participants, thereby emerging "The First Place Winner for the
Undergraduate Category in Africa" despite being the first
representation of the university ever in the contest.
Meanwhile, the first place winners in both categories would represent
Africa at the Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition in Texas, USA
in September 2015.
In a similar vein, the university recently had the highest listing of
leading Nigerian scientists by a Spanish-based research group,
Cybermetrics. The university produced 78 out of the 500 Nigerian
scientists listed.
