 By Genesis ogiri 

Abuja, Nigeria — September 2025 — The grand stage of the 100 Global Impact Summit and Awards came alive with glamour and global recognition as Dr. Omatseyione Nesiama, a distinguished figure in the oil and gas industry and a trailblazer in environmental sustainability and safety advocacy, was named among the 100 Global Impact Personalities of the Year 2025. The prestigious award, presented by the Africa Intercontinental Network, convened by Ambassador prescious Osagie celebrated individuals whose vision and service are shaping the world for the better.

Dr. Nesiama’s career progression reflects a story of resilience, innovation, and service. Starting from his roots in the oil and gas sector, he has steadily risen to become one of Nigeria’s most authoritative voices on Health, Environment, and Safety (HES). His work has not only safeguarded lives and property but has also repositioned safety as a core pillar of national development. As an active member of the Institute of Safety Professionals of Nigeria, he has consistently pushed for stricter regulations, greater awareness, and community-driven education in safety practices.

His advocacy is deeply practical. Over the years, Dr. Nesiama has highlighted how the lack of safety awareness has caused devastating consequences—collapsed buildings, industrial accidents, workplace hazards, and environmental disasters. Through targeted campaigns, he has worked tirelessly to bridge these gaps, ensuring that both corporate organizations and ordinary citizens understand the life-saving importance of safety consciousness.

More recently, his leadership has expanded into the climate change arena, where he has become a passionate voice urging Nigerians and global stakeholders to take urgent action. From hosting awareness programs to engaging policymakers, Dr. Nesiama has championed the link between environmental sustainability, public safety, and long-term national growth. His advocacy is reshaping conversations on how Nigeria must adapt to the changing climate while safeguarding communities most at risk.

The Global Impact Summit, themed “Fostering Collaboration for Progressive Impact,” attracted a constellation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers from across Africa and beyond. The high-level event featured keynote addresses, thought-provoking panel discussions, and strategic networking sessions. Yet one of the most celebrated highlights of the evening was the conferment of awards and honorary doctorates on exemplary figures whose service, innovation, and excellence embody the highest standards of leadership.

In his response to the recognition, Dr. Nesiama expressed humility and renewed commitment:
“This honor is not about me alone; it is about the cause we carry — saving lives, protecting the environment, and securing a safer, healthier future for our nation. I dedicate this to every safety professional, every environmental advocate, and every Nigerian committed to building a culture of responsibility.”

From his footprints in oil and gas to his voice in safety awareness and his advocacy in climate change, Dr. Nesiama’s career tells the story of a man who has chosen purpose over comfort and service over silence. Today, his name sits proudly among the 100 Global Impact Personalities, a recognition that places him in the league of global leaders driving transformative change.

Dr. Omatseyione Nesiama’s recognition as a Global Impact Icon 2025 is more than a personal honor; it is a validation of a lifelong commitment to safety, sustainability, and service to humanity. His journey from the oil and gas sector into the global arena of climate advocacy and environmental awareness demonstrates the power of vision guided by responsibility.

As Nigeria and the world continue to grapple with issues of safety, industrial growth, and climate change, leaders like Dr. Nesiama remind us that true impact is measured not by titles, but by the lives saved, the communities empowered, and the future secured.

With this global recognition, Dr. Nesiama’s voice carries even greater weight — a voice urging society to build a safer, greener, and more sustainable tomorrow.
