Reflecting on his journey, Ovie shared on LinkedIn that he initially dreamed of attending a military academy and becoming an Air Force cadet, but his path took an unexpected turn when he enrolled at the university, which ultimately shaped his growth and aspirations.

He served as Librarian of his church fellowship in his second year, Academic Coordinator in his third year, and President of the fellowship in his final year. He believes strongly in the power of faith and service, stating, “I am a living testament to the saying, ‘It pays to serve God.’”
Ovie also gained valuable industry experience during internships with Chevron Nigeria Limited and Tempo Paper Pulp & Packaging Plc, where he gained hands-on exposure and insights into the industry. In addition to his academic pursuits, Ovie dedicated time to volunteering and mentorship, serving as Program Chairperson for the SPE FUTA Chapter and as an Active Volunteer with Teens-Launch Africa and CleanUP.
He expressed deep gratitude to his parents, friends, and his fellowship family (ASF) for their unwavering support. He also thanked his academic mentors and organizations like Chevron, the Petroleum Training and Development Fund, and Renaissance Support for their role in supporting his journey.
Looking ahead, Ovie is excited to face new challenges, create a positive impact, and inspire others to follow their dreams. “With faith and hard work, no dream is unattainable,” he said.
