Okafor Nixon .O.
Henry is well experienced in the area of Health Safety and Environment. He was my HSE manager during the Bonny Terminal Integrated Project for SPDC in Bonny Island. His managerial experience is perfect. I would like to work with him again if the opportunity comes up.

I had the pleasure working with Henry Avwata while I was on a Sub-Contractor side and Henry Avwata on the Client side, and after a while as a colleague in the same Organization. Throughout the period, I had interaction with him and found as a mentor, a guide and an encyclopedia in HSE matters, I had immensely gained knowledge and guidance with respect to HSE and beyond. He is respected as a tall figure and an authority in HSE matters. We parted ways when project demands subjected us to such regrettable loss of a well sustained opportunity. Well, distance is not a barrier, as modern communication means has helped to keep professionals and colleagues closer than we ever imagined. I wish him best in all his endeavor and it would be my pleasure working with him in future, should such opportunity arises.
