Mr. Greg U. Ogbeifun

MANAGING DIRECTOR/CEO

He is a qualified Marine Engineer with First Class (Combined) Certificate of Competency, a member of the British Society of Marine Consultants and Ship Surveyors, the American Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, the Institute of Directors (IoD) as well as the Pioneer President of the Shipowners Association of Nigeria (SOAN). He also sits as a member of the Advisory Board of the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CWEIC). Mr. Ogbeifun’s counsel is most sought after by leaders in the Maritime Industry on both Federal and State levels due to his clarity of vision and in-depth professional experience and he has served in different federal, ministerial and state committees.

His companies have built a strong reputation in the Nigerian Maritime Industry by guaranteeing excellent service delivery, zero unscheduled down time and zero lost time injury. With a competent workforce, these enterprises continue to exceed clients’ expectations while contributing significantly to the growth of the Nigerian Maritime Industry.

He has received many awards which include ‘Immense Contributor to Manpower Development’ in 2006 by the Maritime Academy of Nigeria, Oron. ‘Trailblazer’ in 2016 by the All-African Students Union in recognition of his contribution to the welfare of students across West Africa and ‘Manager of the Year’ by the Europe Business Assembly in 2016. He has presented many papers within and outside Nigeria on crucial maritime issues.

Mr Ogbeifun is a man that is very committed to helping the less privileged. Worried about the high unemployment rate among the Nigerian youth, he incorporated Eaglewatch Security Limited which today has over 800 Nigerians on its payroll.

Despite the demands of his professional life, Mr. Ogbeifun is a family-oriented man and always finds time to bond with his wife Victoria and eight children, out of which two are already mariners.
