Naval Officer Honours SDU Final-Year Engineering Student For Exceptional Industrial Training

A final-year student of the Faculty of Engineering, Southern Delta University, SDU, Ozoro, Oje Godswill, has received an Award of Honour from the Nigerian Navy, Delta Naval Base, Warri, in recognition of his outstanding performance during his six-month industrial training.

Godswill undertook his industrial training with the Department of Fleet Support Unit, FSU, Delta Naval Base, Warri, where he distinguished himself through hard work, dedication, discipline, intelligence, good character and impressive performance throughout the period of his practical training.

In a remarkable gesture, Master Warrant Officer, MWO, Dappa G. Goodluck of the Nigeria Navy Ship Delta, NNS Delta, who closely monitored Godswill’s conduct and contributions during the training, personally travelled to Southern Delta University, Ozoro, to honour him with the award.

The officer’s decision to visit the University was particularly significant as Godswill was at the time writing his final examinations in preparation for graduation. Rather than wait for another occasion, the officer deemed it fitting to come to the University and personally present the recognition to the graduating student.

The Award of Honour was presented on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, at the Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Presly Obukoadata, and was received by Oje Godswill in the presence of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Dean of Students, Dr. Oghenerukevwe.

The presentation recognized Godswill’s commitment, discipline, character, intelligence, contributions and quality delivery throughout his industrial training.

The recognition is not only a personal achievement for Godswill but also a reflection of the quality of practical training, discipline and character development being promoted at Southern Delta University, Ozoro.

For a student at the threshold of graduation, receiving such recognition from a national institution outside the University is a proud moment and a worthy testimony to the power of diligence, discipline and excellence.

Southern Delta University congratulates Oje Godswill on this well-deserved honour and celebrates him as a shining example of the University's commitment to producing graduates who excel not only in knowledge and technical competence but also in character, discipline and service.

At SDU, excellence is not only taught, it is recognized, celebrated and rewarded.
