His statement read,
The journey of an Undergraduate Project from Rivers State University to an International Award in Berlin Germany.
I am humbled and honored to share that I, Allison Odinioha Gabriel, a Recent Graduate Petroleum Engineering of Rivers State University, have been awarded the YPI Emerging Young Pipeline Professional Award 2025 at the Pipeline Technology Conference in Berlin Germany.
This achievement began as a final-year project under the supervision of an Erudite Academician Engr. Dr. Dune Kingdom (HOD Petroleum Engineering) and flourished with the unwavering support of our visionary Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Isaac Zeb-obipi, and the entire RSU community. My innovation—a Real-time Pipeline Monitoring System—addresses crude oil theft in the Niger Delta, a challenge costing Nigeria billions annually.
To my Alma mata, Rivers State University, Thank you for nurturing my curiosity, providing world-class facilities, and instilling in me the courage to think beyond borders.
This award is a testament to RSU’s commitment to excellence, creativity and student-led innovation.
