The founder, Zeetin Engineering Limited and Managing Director, Kakatar Group, Azibaola Robert have been awarded the fellowship of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE).
   Â
Azibaola studied law at the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt, and was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1995.
After a moment of practice, he resumed duty as a pro-democracy, human and environmental rights advocate, against military rule in Nigeria.
     Â
While in the university, he was a student leader and the Vice President of, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS). When Nigeria returned to democracy in 1999, Azibaola left active civil-society advocacy and founded Mangrovetech Limited, a civil engineering company that metamorphosed into Kakatar.
    Â
Kakatar was designed to challenge an established perception that Nigerian engineers were incapable of building and meeting the infrastructure needs of Nigeria. He created the slogan: “Nigerians Building Nigeria” as part of his advocacy for the Nigerian engineers.
Â
In 2018, Azibaola founded Zeetin Engineering; a state-of-the-art factory in Idu Industrial Area of Abuja. Zeetin is a precision engineering, high-end technology and heavy-duty company.
  Â
With its array of machines and equipment, Zeetin prides itself as Nigeria’s precision engineering company with a focus to kick-start and advance Nigeria’s technological development.
      Â
Through his various companies, Azibaola Robert has employed several Nigerian engineers over the years, providing them mentorship and kindling in them, a desire of “l-can-do it spirit.”
Former Chairman, NSE, Abuja Branch, Osita Ben-Ossy, lauded the award saying Azibaola has contributed immensely to the growth of engineering than what people knew.  Â
    Â
“That is the reason he pays Nigerian engineers what expatriates are paid. That is a big encouragement to our engineers. He has also donated to NSE, several computers to aid our work.
 Â
“So, the NSE deemed it fit today to give him this honorary award of the Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE). Azibaola Robert, FNSE, is a lawyer with the heart, mind, soul and spirit of engineering.”
