Managing Partner
MOFE Foundation
The Mojisola Olayinka Fatungase Edema (MOFE) Foundation, which Engr. Akingbagbohun convenes, partnered with the National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) South-West Zone to train 500 polytechnic students on CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) vehicle conversion, maintenance and energy management, part of a wider push to close the skills gap in Nigeria’s growing clean-energy sector.
“CNG conversion is not just an alternative — it’s a catalyst for transformative change.”
The Foundation also runs a broader calendar of community programmes, from a Children’s Day celebration bringing joy and mentorship to children, to a “Games Evening” of table tennis, board and card games for the community at Sparklight Estate.
“We need to improve the design of engineering systems.”
On integrating AI, IoT, robotics, digital twins and renewable energy to build more sustainable, resilient infrastructure.
