She noted that the MEL programme was jointly administered by the Erasmus School of Economics and the Rotterdam School of Management.

Okeke added that the Student Excellence Award was presented by global tanker company, Stolt Tankers B.V, to the student who emerges with the highest grade point average in the course.

Reacting to the award, Okeke said she was not expecting the award.

“I am from a legal background and the course was filled with many people from more science inclined backgrounds so I did not expect to emerge the best in this field.

“I am humbled to have received this award, I am grateful to God for his grace which made it possible, even during the deeply tough times,” she said.

Okeke said trudging on through the session in the face of the pandemic and during the lockdown was most difficult but in retrospect, the students had as a result developed tenacity which was a vital skill to succeeding in life.

She is a legal counsel to various maritime bodies in Nigeria including Maritime TV Africa as well as the Nigeria Ship Finance Conference & Exhibition.

Okeke is the co-founder of 360 Degree Woman Empowerment Initiative, an initiative, aimed at mentoring young girls in their academic, career and emotional lives, and is currently pursuing new opportunities in at Netherlands.
