A pretty young lady named Ekene Splendor Ijeh, who’s an jntern at a construction firm has shared her experiences.

Ekene says everything she has learnt in school in the last 4 years came alive in practice

She went further to thank her team that’s always responsive with informative answers to her incessant inquisitions 😅.

Sharing her experiences on LinkedIn, she wrote:

It was my first week as a civil engineering intern at Construction Kaiser Limited (CKL) this past week.

It has been a prodigious educative experience so far, just seeing everything I’ve learnt in school in the last 4 years come alive in practice.

It is my very first time in the city of Lagos, so of course adjusting to the horrors of Lagos traffic was not an easy thing, I can’t lie 😅 But alas, setting out for work 5am in the morning just to beat traffic has become normal to me now.

I’m especially thankful for the warm welcome from the CKL team, for always having informative answers to my many inquisitions 😅

My immense gratitude, once again to Engr Igbuan Okaisabor for the opportunity to learn here, to Engr Kizito Meze for taking me under his wings of experience and making out time from his very busy schedule to teach me, to Engr Victoria Peters and Arch Aanu Adelopo, because how inspiring it is seeing a female civil engineer excel in her field.

I get questions from people asking “Are you sure you can handle the pressures of the construction industry as a girl?” And I start to doubt myself. But seeing people like them do what they do always gets me back on track to achieving my dreams.

At this rate, I’ll probably be able to manage an entire building contract at the end of my 6 month internship here because I’ve learnt so much and it’s only been a week 😅

But for now, it’s Saturday and I never thought I’d be this happy to see a weekend😂 I need to sleeeeep😅

Have a wonderful weekend everybody❤️
