The webinar, held on 11 October 2025, focused on the reactivation of the Nigeria branch of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science, and Technology (IMarEST). Key segments include a detailed presentation by Jo Lewis from IMarEST headquarters discussing the organisation's global network, various membership levels, professional registration requirements, and the organisation's structure, including Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and a new mentoring platform.

The discussion also features a historical overview of the Nigerian branch presented by Mr Uchenna, highlighting its founding in 1963 and subsequent periods of inactivity and resuscitation, alongside a final acknowledgement of the event's speakers and participants.
