UNICAL VC Prof Offiong Seeks Further Collaboration As Alumni Attracts Training Worth Over 400,000 USD

By Elijah Ugani

The University of Calabar Vice Chancellor, Prof Offiong E. Offiong has called on Dr Oli Olowhu and CypherCrescent LTD to expand the training of students and lecturers on the SEPAL Solver and WRM training to other faculties in the University.

Prof Offiong made the call on Thursday 29th of January, 2026 when the former Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Prof Odey Osha, led Dr Oli Olowhu and CypherCrescent team on a courtesy call to the Vice Chancellor.

The University helmsman commended Dr Oli Olowhu for facilitating the training and used the opportunity to call on other distinguished alumni of the university who are in privileged positions to provide a pathway for collaborations that will benefit the university. The VC mentioned that Dr. Oli was one of his former students in Chemistry Department, Unical and he is very glad to know that a student that he personally taught is making some great contributions to the oil and gas industry and also returning to give back to the institution that moulded him.

The VC appluaded the use of SEPAL Solver, a software that is using a mathematical approach in programming to provide solutions to engineering challenges which will in turn build the foundation and basis that will prepare students and graduates for the labour market.

Prof Offiong expressed willingness to expand the collaboration with other companies within the industry as technology seemed to have provided solutions needed to navigate most of the challenges.

Responding, the Lead Trainer of CypherCrescent LTD, Engr Lateef Adewale Karim, an expert in computational and mathematical analysis who happens to be one of the third best globally in this field noted that CypherCrescent have such a collaboration with the University of Port Harcourt and hope to extend this to the University of Calabar.

Lateef noted that the Two softwares taught to over 40 participants, SEPAL Solver and Well Reservoir Management will support the participants in programme development. The Five-day hands-on training which was divided into Monday to Wednesday (SEPAL Solver) and Thursday to Friday (SEPAL Well Reservoir Management -WRM), designed to build practical competence in the use of SEPAL Solver for spatial analysis & environmental data processing, also introduced the participants to SEPAL Well Reservoir Management (WRM) concepts and applications. The Well Reservoir Management (WRM) training is a comprehensive, cloud based indigenous technology designed by Cyphercrescent Ltd for oil and gas asset management. At the end of the training, the participants will be able to integrate production, reservoir, geological, petrophysical and well intervention data to optimise oil and gas production, monitor well performance and proffer some solutions to reduce operating expenses in the oil and gas industry.
Engr Lateef also informed the VC that the SEPAL Solver software can also be used in other sectors such as Space Technology and health care management. He stated that in 2020, he was in the presidential panel and was among those who worked with Bill Gates to developed the software that was used in disease control during the COVID 19 period. He mentioned that one of his former colleagues in CypherCrescent is now the Head of Disease Control in the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) headquarters in Abuja.

On his part, the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Research and Linkages, Prof Anthony Eneji, commended the team for the efforts made and pledged his readiness to strengthen the collaboration as stated by the Vice Chancellor.

The facilitator of the collaboration, Dr Oli Olowhu informed the VC that he attracted the programme at no cost to Unical. He stated that “the industry-academia collaboration has a symbiotic relationship to breach the gap between the industry and academia. This relationship will open up opportunities for the lecturers and the students to develop capacity building to support the oil and gas industry”. He also informed the Vice Chancellor that some of the bright students who participated in the training would be offered internship opportunities with CypherCresent. Dr further announced that two of the engineering graduates from Unical have been offered internship position with an E&P company through his recommendation.

Oli promised to discuss with CypherCrescent management to sustain the program as requested by the Vice Chancellor. Dr Oli further disclosed that “the cost of training for each of the Two softwares is about 5,000USD, which means that each of the participants will have paid 10,000USD as training fees multiply by over 40 participants (about 400,000USD), and the university is having this training at no cost”.

He commended the MD of CypherCrescent, Engr Thankgod Egbe, for his goodwill and support to ensure the timely approval of the free training.

The former Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Prof Odey Osha, thanked the Vice Chancellor for providing the opportunity for the training to take place and assured CypherCrescent LTD that with the Vice Chancellor’s desire to place the university in global perspective, the academic and industry collaboration has come to stay in the university of Calabar.

Speaking with Theluminenews, the Head, Department of Petroleum Engineering, Engr Precious Effiom, expressed delight and satisfaction when she noted that “We hope to get access to other software licenses, as they have given us licences to the Two softwares taught during this training free.

Speaking further, Engr Effiom mentioned three key actions to be taken by the department as a follow up to the training “As a department, we intend to integrate the softwares application into the petroleum engineering curriculum. Organise a step down training for staff and students who were not available for the programme as well as initiate an MoU with CypherCrescent LTD for this initiative”.

Poor In Spirit: Jesus Uses The Beatitudes To Positively Change Our Orientation About A World That Has Become So Avaricious, Revengeful, Contemptuous, Arrogant And Self Seeking BY PETER OBELE ABUE

The beatitudes are the content of Christ’s gospel and those 8 principles surely turned upside down the understanding Jesus’ listeners had of the world and society. The beatitudes give us a new understanding of Christianity and a clearer image of God’s kingdom especially as it relates to our understanding of poverty and riches. As a matter of fact, Jesus uses the beatitudes to positively change our orientation about a world that has become so avaricious, revengeful, contemptuous, arrogant and self seeking.

Jesus tells his listeners rather to choose the opposite because the poor would be rich, the hungry would be filled, and the persecuted would be rewarded. What lessons does Jesus mean to impart in this great SERMON ON THE MOUNT? As a starting point, let us consider the first beatitide: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God” (Mt 8:9).

The fact remains that Jesus always associated himself with the poor and here, he declares them, ‘blessed.’ His words remind us in a unique way that God would always take the side of the poor; that the idea of poverty does not necessarily have a negative connotation. However, due to our culture of renouncing poverty, we sometimes perceive these words negatively. It is worthwhile for us to focus on these words as we listen to this sermon. Although an average person desires to be rich (comfortable), to have people under his/her authority like the centurion in the bible, yet Christ said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” What does this imply?

To be poor in spirit has little to do with the lack of possessions. It means we must choose to renounce the accumulation of wealth as a source of happiness or blessings. Our salvation lies with God alone and not with material possessions and we must be content with having little if that would create more room for our spiritual upliftment. Even when blessed with material wealth, what matters most in our life is how we share with the poor and avoid contempt and arrogance. The scripture says in Philippians 4:19 “My God will fully supply whatever we need, in accord with his glorious riches.” Accordingly, Christians must realise that what gives us true happiness and entry into God’s kingdom is not our material wealth but a humble and contrite spirit.

Jarigbe Flags Off Ibiaragidi–Anyikang–Utukwe–Ububa–Ukum Road Construction in Bekwarra LGA

The Senator representing Cross River North Senatorial District, Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe, has flagged off the construction of the Ibiaragidi–Utukwe–Anyikang and Ububa–Ukum road, linking Ibiaragidi and Ugboro communities in Bekwarra Local Government Area of Cross River State.

Speaking during the flag-off ceremony, the Constituency Officer, Mr. Egar Mgbantul, described the project as Senator Jarigbe’s intervention aimed at addressing long-standing rural neglect.

Mr. Egar assured the people of Ugboro and Ibiaragidi that the road project would be completed within the stipulated timeframe. He noted that, upon completion, the road will become the first rural road ever facilitated by a Lawmaker to Bekwarra LGA and would ease transportation, improve access to markets, and boost economic activities in the predominantly agrarian communities.

“Rural–urban migration largely occurs because development does not reach our people. The reason Senator Jarigbe brought this project here is to address the apparent neglect of our rural areas,” Mr. Egar added.

Constituents have commended the Senator for the initiative, praying that God grants him the strength and wisdom to continue delivering more developmental projects to the district.

Are We Allowing Rectorship of FedPoly, Ugep to Slip Away from C’River? BY INYALI PETER

The Federal Polytechnic, Ugep, located in Yakur local government area of Cross River State, is on the verge of appointing a new Rector following a rigorous selection process. Interviews have been conducted and the Governing Council, chaired by distinguished Sen. Florence Ita-Giwa has shortlisted three candidates and strongly recommended one, deemed to have performed best for appointment. The one recommended is an indigene of Cross River State.

Regrettably, credible reports indicate an emerging effort by some influential figures within the Federal Ministry of Education to disregard this merit-based recommendation and impose an alternative candidate from Kogi State. The plan to appoint a non-indigene who did not perform as strong as the recommended indigene appears to contravene established norms in the appointment of chief executives for federal tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

While the institution is federal in status, a longstanding, albeit informal, convention has always been that CEOs of federal universities, polytechnics and colleges of education are typically drawn from the host states. This practice promotes local ownership, aligns with principles of catchment area considerations, and ensures harmony between the schools and their host states. Currently, no federal polytechnic in Nigeria is led by a Rector who is not an indigene of the host state.

Cross River State has already experienced enough marginalization in federal appointments under the current administration. To now override the Governing Council’s recommendation for the leadership of a federal institution sited within the state, and one whose new campus was generously donated by the Cross River State Government would constitute grave injustice. Recently, students of the institution have staged a peaceful protest, rightly demanding adherence to local content principles in the appointment of a new Rector.

As a concerned Cross Riverian, I appeal to the Governor, our Minister, National Assembly members from the state and all influential leaders to urgently intervene. I’m convinced that their collective voice and advocacy would ensure that the Governing Council’s recommendation is upheld and the established convention respected.

Cross River deserves the opportunity to lead its own federal institutions with the talent it possesses like other states. Therefore, this appointment must reflect the best interests of the institution, the host community/state and the federation as a whole.

The training which commenced on Monday 26th January 2026 will run through Friday 30th January, 2026, is holding at the conference hall of the faculty of Engineering, University of Calabar.

Declaring the training/workshop opened, the Vice Chancellor charged the over 40 participants made up of both lecturers and students of the faculty of Engineering and Geology department to take advantage of the opportunity provided by the training to learn the softwares that will prepare them for the industry after graduation.

The Vice Chancellor who was represented by the Dean, Faculty of Engineering, Engr Prof Fidelis Abam, welcomed the resource team to the University and commended CypherCrescent Ltd for choosing the University of Calabar for the novel and innovative approach to provide hands-on practical training for engineering graduates to enable them fit into the industry.

He appealed to CypherCrescent to sustain the partnership to ensure that the gap often created by graduates of engineering finding it difficult to cope with the technical knowhow in the industry.

On his part, the Lead Trainer, Engr. Lateef Lateef, commended the University of Calabar for providing the opportunity and the enabling environment for the hands-on practical training for the students and lecturers.
He noted that “This workshop is a train the trainers and so as participants, you must pay very particular attention to details and ensure that you understand the application of these softwares in programme design”.

Engr. Lateef further stated that the University of Calabar is among the few universities in Nigeria that this training is been held. He pledged the commitment of the trainers to the training and wished that at the end of the Five-Day section, participants should be able to use the softwares adequately for the benefit of the university and the nation.

On his part, the facilitator of the training, Mr Oli Olowhu, PhD, an Alumnus of the University of Calabar, urged the participants to take the training very seriously as any student who shows exceptional performance during the training session will have the opportunity to do internship with CypherCrescent and some Oil and Gas companies that are looking for thes skills.

He mentioned that two graduates of the Faculty of Engineering are already undergoing internship with an E & P company facilitated by him.

Dr Olowhu commended the goodwill of the programme Coordinator of CypherCrescent, Engr Thankgod Egbe, an energy expert who is also an indigene of Cross River State for graciously granting approval for the training to take place as a way of giving back to the society.

Dr Oli further disclosed that “the cost of training for each of the Two softwares is about 5,000USD, which means that each of the participants will have paid 10,000USD as training fees multiply by 40 participants (400,000USD), and the university is having this training at no cost”. Dr Oli stated that “this training will also contribute to national development as we need to train and maintain adequate manpower in other to contribute to the production target of 4,000,000 barrel per day production as proposed by the renewed hope agenda of Mr. President”.

The immediate past Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Calabar, Prof Odey Osha, commended the goodwill of Dr Oli Olowhu for the sacrifices made to attract the training to the university of Calabar at a time that practical solutions are needed to bridge the skill gap between the industry and the university system.

He opined that “This training would not have come at a better time than now. The world is evolving. Our graduates over the past years find it difficult to fit into the industry after graduation. They are often times subjected to on the job training and majority of them find it difficult to scale through interviews into the industry. This training is very timely and I encourage the students to take it seriously”.

On sustainability, Prof Osha noted that “The lecturers and students that are currently being trained will have to cascade the training to others and CypherCrescent has graciously made commitment for a follow up mentorship”.

The SEPAL Solver and WRM training is an indigenous computational Mathematical engine designed to facilitate complex problem-solving simulations, data modeling, and algorithm and analysis software used by Oil & Gas Exploration & Production companies to understand the performance of their wells and environs.

The Five-day hands-on training which is divided into Monday to Wednesday (SEPAL Solver) and Thursday to Friday (SEPAL Well Reservoir Management -WRM), is designed to build practical competence in the use of SEPAL Solver for spatial analysis & environmental data processing, as well as introduce the participants to SEPAL Well Reservoir Management (WRM) concepts and applications. The Well Reservoir Management (WRM) training is a comprehensive, cloud based indigenous technology designed by Cyphercrescent Ltd for oil and gas asset management. At the end of the training, the participants will be able to integrate production, reservoir, geological, petrophysical and well intervention data to optimise oil and gas production, monitor well performance and proffer some solutions to reduce operating expenses in the oil and gas industry.
