Festus Ifeanyi Anagwu is a Nigerian Chemical Engineer. He was born a native of Ihembosi, a town in the present Anambra State, Southeast Nigeria. He finished secondary school in the year 1999 when he obtained the West African Senior School Certificate (WASSC), finishing 3 distinctions and 6 credits obtained at first sitting. One unique aspect of Engr Ifeanyi Anagwu is that he is so versatile that during his senior secondary school days, when students were grouped into science and art students, the young Ifeanyi Anagwu decided to measure in both arts and sciences; he was a science student as well as an art student. Thus, during the WAEC examination, he registered the core art subject of Literature-in-English and the core science subject of Physics. He balanced it up with the social science subject of Economics. When many students opted for 8 subjects, Ifeanyi Anagwu opted for the then maximum allowable number of nine subjects to satisfy his quest for versatility. He completed the nine subjects by registering English language, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Igbo language and Agricultural Science. Owing to his outstanding character, he was awarded the best behaved student of the year 1999 and outstanding Senior Prefect of Community Secondary School, Ihembosi since inception in 1980.

Festus Ifeanyi Anagwu received Bachelor of Engineering degree (BEng) in Chemical Engineering from Anambra State University (ANSU), Uli, now Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, graduating with Second Class Honours Upper Division (2.1), having missed the opportunity of graduating with First Class on account of students' political activism. He was the valedictorian of the Department of Chemical Engineering class of 2006. As an undergraduate, he contested and won the position of president of Nigerian Universities Engineering Students Association (NUESA), Anambra State University chapter. As ANSU's NUESA President, Ifeanyi Anagwu was the Coordinator and Chairman of Forum of NUESA Presidents of Southeastern Universities and was deputized by President Caleb of ESUT. Upon graduation in 2006, Ifeanyi Anagwu proceeded to Bayelsa State where he performed the mandatory National Youth Service Corps. He gained work experience at different times in the oil and gas, telecommunication and food manufacturing industries as Managers in each of the three industries before venturing into academics.

Engr Ifeanyi Anagwu later proceeded to Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka where he received a Master of Engineering degree (MEng) in Chemical Engineering. He is currently admitted into Cranfield University, Cranfield, United Kingdom for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Manufacturing Engineering. Ifeanyi Anagwu served as the National Vice President, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Alumni Association between the year 2015 - 2018 and stepped down upon the expiration of the tenure of that executive. He is a Research Lecturer at the Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Owerri, Nigeria. Ifeanyi Anagwu has to his credit many research articles published in international journals, textbooks and international conference papers. He is a member of Nigerian Society of Chemical Engineers. Some of his publications are captured as part of the references below.
