A brilliant Nigerian woman celebrates her accomplishment after receiving a first-class degree in chemical engineering from a UK university.
Mervin Azeta is a remarkable Nigerian woman who has achieved great success after earning a first-class degree in reservoir engineering and chemical engineering.
Mervin Azeta, who currently works for Schlumberger as a Lead Engineer, described how she was informed as a child that engineering was not a field that was suitable for girls. I was once advised that girls aren’t really suited for engineering because they typically leave the field after a few years of undergraduate studies. By God’s boundless grace, love, and mercy, you can see how far I’ve come,” she wrote on LinkedIn.
Mervin Azeta graduated with a first-class bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering with a reservoir engineering minor from the University of Benin in Nigeria. She then went on to obtain her Master’s degree with distinction from the Imperial College London.
Mervin Azeta, an engineer who has achieved success in the oil and gas sector, stated that girls should not be deterred from pursuing engineering careers. “As an engineer and energy professional, I have had an amazing career working with SLB, a company that brings in the best, bravest, and brightest to drive energy innovation for a balanced planet—and helping many more women, worldwide, thrive in #STEM disciplines.”
“Think #Engineering, girl or young woman, if you want to tackle some of the most challenging and urgent issues of this century, enhance lives, and make the world a better, healthier, and safer place in general,” she stated.

Mervin Azeta was recognized as an Emerging Alumni Leader from Imperial College London.
She encouraged everyone who aspired to become an engineer to follow their goals and not let anything stop them. And never forget that you can have a wonderful life, be an amazing engineer, and have a fulfilling and enjoyable career! “Don’t allow anything or anyone to stop you,” she said.
Mervin Azeta recounted how, at the age of eight, she was motivated to pursue a career in engineering after seeing her pregnant relative die in the labor room during a power outage.Mervin was obviously devastated, but according to a paper from Imperial College London, it also caused her to feel something and start asking questions.
“I knew engineers were the ones solving problems and the challenges faced by society, so I quickly chose engineering as my major when choosing what I wanted to study at university,” Mervin explained.
She stated that she is still determined to address Nigeria’s energy problems as she celebrated National Engineering Day in the UK.
“Today is National Engineering Day in the UK, and I was just reminded of why I chose to become an engineer: to address the energy challenges facing Nigeria, Africa, and the world at large while providing high-quality STEM education to the next generation of doers, leaders, and thinkers,” she said.
