CAREER AND TRACK RECORD
- Industrial Microbiology & Public Safety: During his NYSC (1988) at Sona Dairies Ltd, Ota and Unilever Nigeria, Agbara, his report as factory microbiologist on the use of expired KLIN milk for production led to the closure of Sona Dairies by health authorities.
- Industrial Sourcing & Supply: After NYSC, he built a business sourcing raw materials, chemicals and machinery for Unilever, Nigerian Breweries, PZ Cussons, NASCO and others, locally and internationally.
- Housing: Through his subsidiary, Red Roses Ltd, his company delivered about 100 housing units for PZ Cussons Aba workers’ cooperative estate in Aba.
- Trade & Markets in Aba: As Special Adviser on Trade and Investment to Gov Okezie Ikpeazu, he helped Aba traders own their shops through three markets: Ekumi Market (behind A-Line, Ariaria for drug sellers), St. Michael GSM and Accessories Market, George’s (now housing displaced Ekeoha traders) and Azikiwe Tyre and Heavy-Duty Spare Parts Market, Alaoji.
- Agriculture: He facilitated land acquisition for Von Farms and Foods Ltd in Ngodo, Ugwuogu, Umuanyi and Arommiri Ukwu autonomous communities in Uturu. Today about 1,000 hectares of cassava have been cultivated, creating jobs, displacing criminal hideouts in fallow forests and attracting CBN and other intervention agencies.
- Major Investment Attraction: He was the local broker who facilitated the joint venture between PZ Cussons Plc and Singapore’s Wilmar International that birthed PZ Wilmar — producers of Kings Vegetable Oil, Mamador and bakery fats — with 50,000 hectares of palm plantation in Cross River to feed its Ikorodu plant. The venture ended smuggling of Kings Oil and made Nigeria an exporter. Many Abians gained jobs, logistics and distributorship opportunities.
