50 Years of Chemical Engineering Education in Nigeria (1969 - 2019)
​
50 Years of Chemical Engineering Education in Nigeria (1969–2019) is a definitive historical account of the emergence, growth, and consolidation of chemical engineering as an academic discipline and professional force in Nigeria.
Spanning five decades, this volume documents the establishment of Chemical Engineering departments across Nigerian universities—from the earliest foundations in 1969 to the state of the discipline in 2019. Through detailed institutional narratives, the book captures each department’s vision, milestones, achievements, and challenges, presented in the chronological order of their founding.
To situate these developments within a broader professional and economic context, the book extends beyond academia. It includes a comprehensive account of the Nigerian Society of Chemical Engineers, alongside in-depth examinations of Nigeria’s major chemical industries—covering the upstream and downstream petroleum sectors, chemical and allied industries, and the food and beverage industry. Together, these sections illuminate the dynamic relationship between education, professional practice, and industrial growth.
The narrative is further enriched by tracing the global origins of chemical engineering—from its roots in ancient industrial practices to its formal emergence during the Industrial Revolution, and its codification through concepts such as unit operations. By connecting Nigeria’s experience to this wider international history, the book places national developments within a global intellectual and industrial lineage.
Organised into three major sections—Educational, Professional, and Industrial—and comprising 27 chapters, this work serves as both a historical record and a practical reference. It is an invaluable resource for academics, researchers, policymakers, prospective students, and institutions seeking to understand or establish Chemical Engineering programmes in developing contexts.
50 Years of Chemical Engineering Education in Nigeria stands as a landmark contribution to the documentation of engineering education in Africa, preserving institutional memory while offering insight for future growth, collaboration, and innovation.
life once more into the erased.
NOVELLAS
Here is a collection of novellas from my collaboration with A. E. Myriad. The books listed here are the Kindle versions. Thank you for visiting my website.
The Shelf of Erased Faces
​
The Shelf of Erased Faces:- The Library of Echoes Book 3
by A. E. Myriad
There are shelves in the Library no scribe dares touch. Among them lies the Shelf of Erased Faces—a corridor of silence, where the portraits of peoples who once walked the earth have been stripped from memory. Their names do not appear in chronicles. Their languages were unlearned by force. Their faces were cut from statues, burned from records, and scattered like ash across time.
Yet here, in the Library of Echoes, their shadows endure. The Scribe is called to walk among masks without features, to listen for voices that tremble on the edge of nothingness, and to record what the world tried to forget. These are the testimonies of nations deliberately buried—tribes declared “vanished,” kingdoms erased by decree, bloodlines hidden in shame, and lineages silenced for fear of their truth.
But the more the Scribe writes, the more the Erasers gather. For to restore these faces is to break the spell of their obliteration—and the Erasers hunger to keep silence intact.
The Shelf of Erased Faces is a lament and a defiance, a chronicle of peoples history tried to unmake. Within its pages, memory becomes resistance, and to remember is to breathe life once more into the erased.
The Shelf of Burning Kingdoms
​
The Shelf of Burning Kingdoms:- The Library of Echoes Book 2
by A. E. Myriad
In the endless halls of the Library of Echoes lies a shelf that smolders with ash and memory. Here rest the stories of kingdoms consumed by conquest—palaces reduced to rubble, banners trampled under foreign boots, voices silenced by the crackle of fire.
The Scribe is summoned once more to walk among ruins where empires once reigned. From Carthage salted into silence to Jerusalem’s temple falling stone by stone, from African thrones swallowed by colonizers to forgotten dynasties erased from their chronicles—the Shelf of Burning Kingdoms preserves what conquerors sought to destroy.
But the Erasers have learned to wield fire. They are not content to devour words; they ignite them, leaving only charred silence in their wake. To guard this shelf, the Scribe must breathe life into ashes, rekindle sparks hidden in ruins, and uncover a deeper truth: that kingdoms fall, but the Word endures.
A tale of fire and ruin, memory and resurrection—this is a hymn for the kingdoms that once burned, and for the Kingdom that cannot be shaken.
The Shelf of Forgotten Tongues
​
The Shelf of Forgotten Tongues:- The Library of Echoes Book 1
by A. E. Myriad
​
In the heart of an endless Library, shelves begin to vanish—entire languages crumbling into silence. To stop the erasure, the Library summons the Scribe, a being woven of ink, dust, and light.
But the task is greater than witnessing loss. The Scribe must carry the weight of forgotten voices, step inside their worlds, and bind them back into memory before silence consumes them forever. From the banks of the Yuchi River to a snow-bound Ainu village, from Cornish shores battered by storm to aisles stalked by formless predators, the Scribe learns that every act of preservation demands sacrifice.
And when the Erasers—the formless eaters of memory—rise in force, the Scribe must pay the ultimate cost: giving up a piece of their very name to protect what remains.
The Shelf of Forgotten Tongues is the first volume of The Library of Echoes, a mythic fantasy series about memory, language, and the war against silence.
