Engr. M. B.

In 1986 he joined the Lagos Themal Power station Egbin, A NEPA 6 x 220MW gas turbine generation station. He was attached to the switchgear and transformer section and was responsible for the maintenance of protective relays.
Upon invitation in 1986, he joined the Kano state Rural Electricity Board as a senior Engineer and by 1998 he rose to the position of Assistant Director in charge of Electrical Department. He was responsible for all the Rural Electrification projects executed by the Board within and outside the state.
His quest for broader and more challenging engineering Practice made him to formally resign from the Government service in 1998 to fully settle as the Managing Director MBS Engineering Limited (then Amal Engineering Services Limited). This initiative attracted honest, dedicated and committed engineers to join him in making the company discharge its professional obligation effectively and satisfactorily to its Clients.
