However, when the Highstone Global University based in the United States came highly recommended, I considered the privilege of such global recognition, which embodies acceptable leadership responsibility.”

He underscored that Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy, grapples with significant energy-related hurdles, observing that effective leadership is vital to tackling these issues and acknowledging that the Award will promote international cooperation and knowledge sharing by collaborating with international organizations and countries to share knowledge, expertise, and build capacity and skills in the energy sector to ensure best practices.

Eruophe’s unwavering dedication to excellence, coupled with his vision for local empowerment, marks him as an exceptional leader and role model.

Prof. Valentine Iheukwumere, Vice Chancellor for Highstone Global University (Africa), presented the award and emphasized that the increasing presence of foreign universities in Nigeria highlights the nation’s educational challenges and presents an opportunity to address systemic shortcomings. He noted that Eruophe’s Doctorate in Engineering Management from the Institute recognizes his extensive contributions to the oil and gas industry and encouraged him to uphold standards.
