Currently, Prof. Abiodun Sule holds the esteemed position of Executive Director/CEO at the Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research, Lagos. He is not only an accomplished maritime professional but also a certified Marine Captain. His career trajectory has been marked by significant contributions, having served as Provost of the Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology, Victoria Island, Lagos, since January 1, 2015.
