Senator (Dr.) Chimaroke Nnamani: A rare gem on a Divine Mission (Opinion) 

By Arum Chibuike (Ochudo)

According to William Shakespeare, “some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.”

Distinguished Senator (Dr.) Chimaroke Nnamani is one of those rare gems that Shakespeare was referring to.

Whenever the Almighty God sends His beloved child for a special assignment here on earth, it is pertinent that the masses recognize such missionary journey and place premium value on the messenger because such opportunity comes once in a while.

Senator Chimaroke Nnamani was born a great man, nature demonstrated it by elevating him to the pinnacles of his medical and political careers in order to position him for the special task he has come to perform on earth.

However, it baffles me when some feeble minded persons attack the greatness of His Excellency, the former Governor of Enugu State, the progenitor of the Great Ebeano Political Dynasty, the man on a divine mission, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani. Usually, when mediocres feign ignoramus by making unkind statements against the grand master of modern Enugu State political engineering, I laugh and ask God to forgive such persons because they know not what they are doing. This must be the reason why Albert Einstein stated that “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.” Distinguished Senator (Dr.) Chimaroke Nnamani is no doubt endowed with the spirit of greatness, and negative attacks against him by a handful of mediocres is expected, though such frivolous punchs are usually dead on arrival.

Senator Nnamani’s journey to the Nigeria Senate has been very productive and symbolic, but only the intelligent minds can comprehend it. His voice is so loud in the red Chambers while carrying out his primary legislative assignment. He has influenced so many constituency projects in Enugu East Senatorial Zone which he represent, most of which have been claimed by some National Assembly members in his Senatorial Zone. Such claims does not bother him because it is needless and hypocritical to do so.

He is a silent achiever, he has executed many constituency projects and given jobs to many people without celebrating it, all because of his belief in the biblical injunction which says that “when you give alms, do not let the left hand know what the right hand is doing.”

Needless to emphasize the fact that Senator Chimaroke Nnamani is a great human developer. Despite the fact that most of the men he groomed have turned against him, Nnamani is not deterred as he has continued to focus on his divine assignment of building men and women in every nook and cranny of Enugu State and beyond. Until date, he picks people from the bottomless pit of abandonment and clip them to their God designed destiny by giving meaning to their lives. This is the reason why his numerous beneficiaries call him “Destiny Helper.”

Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani is the man who has continued to insist that in Ebeano family, everybody is equal. It means that anybody can become anything irrespective of his or her social, academic and financial status. This attitude which he has demonstrated in every ramification has endeared him to the masses, thereby making him to command the highest number of followership in Enugu State as at today.

As the 2023 political journey is already in top gear, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani’s political expertise and guide cannot be taken for granted. His Excellency, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi should pay keen attention and tap from the wisdom of Senator Chimaroke Nnamani in the bid to nominate his successor. Nkanu people and indeed the entire Enugu State are lucky to have Senator Chimaroke Nnamani hale and hearty, to continue the good humanitarian services he was created to do for the benefit of mankind.

Concerning Enugu East Senatorial position, there is no vacancy as long as the mission of Senator Chimaroke Nnamani is ongoing. I do not expect that anyone who understands the worth of Chimaroke will dare to contest the elevated position with him, except those that have appointments with failure.

Let all the good people of Nkanu land and Enugu State in general rally round Distinguished Senator Chimaroke Nnamani in a bid to tap from his political wisdom, bound with cognate experiences for a harmonious political season and transition.

Long live Sen. Chimaroke Nnamani!

Long live Ebeano Family!!

Long live Gburugburu!!!

Enugu State is in the hands of God.

Opinion: Of Peter Mbah and the contribution of Ndigbo to national growth

By Alex Chukwuma

South Eastern Nigerian has continued to remain in the lead of growing the economy in and out of season, that is why the likes of Peter Ndubuisi Mbah who was born half a century ago to the family of Chief and Mrs. Gilbert Ekete Mbah, in Owo, Nkanu East Local Government Area of Enugu State is still in the business of creating indigenous firms to enable sustainable growth in our economy.

Named Peter, because his parents believed that, like the biblical Peter, Ndubuisi would grow to be a rock upon which great things would be anchored.

Living up to his name, Peter Ndubuisi Mbah foraged through life with an uncommon focus and determination.

He displayed courage, perseverance, resilience, conscientiousness, and passion. These attributes have catapulted him to the pinnacle of relevance and ensured his position in national and global affairs.

The International Maritime Lawyer and Business Magnate, guided by these lifelong attributes among his other business engagements, founded the FOCUS International Schools in Lagos, even at a teething stage of his entrepreneurial drive, in recognition of the role of education in national development.

Today, he is also the Founder and Chief Executive officer of Pinnacle Oil and Gas Ltd., an indigenous Oil and Gas company.

Rising from a modest beginning, Peter’s journey through life has been fruitful, and full of impact.

It spans philanthropy, public service, academia, and entrepreneurship.

Peter’s education commenced at the Army Children’s School, Bori Camp, Port Harcourt, from where he obtained his first School Leaving Certificate with distinction. After leaving school, he wanted so much to be an international merchant; thus, he engaged in commercial training/trading, simultaneously pursuing his academic studies. He later enrolled at Owode High School, Owode Egba, Ogun State, where he sat for and obtained his Senior Secondary School Certificate in 1992.

It was while trading that he realized the importance of Legal Education. He applied to and was accepted to study Law at the University of East London, (UEL) in the United Kingdom from where he obtained a Bachelor of Laws (LL. B) degree, in the Upper-Class Division in 2000.

While at the University of East London, his Leadership and Organizational skills came to the fore.

He was thus elected president of the Students Law Society between 1998-99. Under his leadership, the school won the Students’ Union prize and Certificate of Achievement for the ‘Most Productive Society of the Year.’

From 1999 to 2000, Peter was a Member of the Students Representative Council of the UEL, as well as a Member of the School of Law Board, where he represented the Final Year students. Peter won the First Prize in the University of East London Mooting Competition and led the University’s team to the International Negotiation Competition.

He returned to Nigeria to study for his bar examination. He was later called to the Nigerian Bar and awarded the Barrister-at-Law (BL) at the Nigerian Law School. He did his youth service in Lagos with the law firm of Udeh and Associates and was mentored by the inimitable Justice Nnaemeka Agu (JSC, rtd) of blessed memory, who was then a consultant to the firm.

Subsequently, Peter proceeded to acquire a Master’s degree in Maritime and Commercial Law from Lagos State University in 2004.

In addition to these academic achievements and in the spirit of lifelong learning, he has continued to expand his boundaries of knowledge by participating in numerous other academic and capacity-building programmes, including:

Master’s degree in Business Administration from the IESE Business School, Barcelona, University of Navarra, Spain.

Chief Executive Programme at the Lagos Business School.

Post Graduate Diploma in Strategy and Innovation at the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford and numerous other Executive programmes in leading business schools across the world, including the Stanford Business School and Harvard Business School.

Peter’s academic records and grasp of administration, even in his student days, could be gleaned from the testimonials of his leadership given by his former lecturers and tutors at the University of East London, as well as here in Nigeria.

Since leaving school, Peter has distinguished himself remarkably, seemingly to justify his tutors – Sumner, McGuire, and Ohuruogu projections of his capabilities. Aside foundingPinnacle Oil and Gas from an almost zero base worth and nil reckoning in the corporate world, he also sits atop the board and management of Pinnacle Pointers, a real estate and hospitality company.

His business and professional track records have taken him through several spheres of activities such as Import trade, Oil and Gas Sales and distributions, maritime logistics, and public service. As diverse as his career in the oil industry has been, its consistent underpinning factor has been his passion for organization, corporate governance, and the perpetual search for knowledge.

Peter has been a Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of numerous successful companies and sits on the boards of several establishments. Before Pinnacle Oil and Gas, Peter had earlier founded the Peter Mbah Investment Limited, a trading firm that served as the Nigerian representative to International Oil Corporation (IOC) based in Fresno, California, USA. He was the sole agent of IOC in Nigeria.

Peter also founded GILPEL Industries Ltd., a trading company involved in the import and sales of domestic electrical appliances, as well as Focus International Schools, a world-class Primary and Secondary school based in Lagos.

In addition to the huge strides he has made in the areas of business, human management, and public service, Peter is passionate about community development and service to humanity. His passion for intervention in community development is piloted by a zeal that is continuously driven by the quest for excellence, tenacity, resilience, and an indomitable ‘can-do’ spirit

Being a man who believes in business success through innovation and creativity, Peter’s Pinnacle Oil & Gas Ltd entered the Nigerian oil and gas industry in 2008 as a late entrant but has gained a preeminent position through revolutionizing petroleum products handling by significantly reducing costs and turn-around time of operations.

While Pinnacle Oil and Gas Limited started operations in 2008, the company has since reached its peak in the Nigerian Oil and Gas downstream sector. This rise is probably best illustrated by the company’s successful launch of its ultra-modern Offshore Petroleum Products Intake and Off-take Facility in the Lekki Free Zone, Lagos, the first of its kind in West Africa. The facility, in the first of a planned three phases, currently boasts of one offshore mooring system and 300,000,000 litres of petroleum storage.

In subsequent phases of expansion, which have already commenced, the facility will extend to two offshore mooring systems, the largest capable of mooring vessels of 150,000 Tons capacity, and up to one billion litres of the storage facility. This would make it Africa’s largest liquid bulk terminal.

Aside from this, Pinnacle’s core areas of focus in the oil industry are petroleum trading, marketing, supply, distribution, and retail segments of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Downstream Sector. The company operates another storage facility and jetty in Warri, as well as a fleet of trucks and a network of retail petroleum service stations with branches across the country.

In the area of public service, Peter made a significant impact while serving in Enugu State as Commissioner for Finance and Economic Development under His Excellency Governor Chimaroke Nnamani. As a testament to the uncommon contribution, he made to the state’s fiscal operations, through the strategy document he evolved which became the operating template for Enugu State government’s development programmes, the NewsWatch magazine’s special publication of July 3rd, 2006, described Peter as “a man ahead of his time.”

As the Commissioner for Finance, he was a Member of the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee (Nigeria’s highest fiscal allocation body), Chairman of the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee’s Sub-Committee on Legal Matters, Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Enugu State Insurance Company and Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Enugu State Finance and Investment Company.

He had earlier also served as Chief of Staff to the Governor in 2003, and courtesy of the role, he was Chairman of the Enugu State Tenders’ Board; Member of the Enugu State Executive Council (highest decision-making body in the State) as well as Member of the State Security Council.

Peter Ndubuisi Mbah: Distinguished in business and public service (Opinion)

By J.J Nwachukwu

For Chief Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, it has been a long walk to breakthrough. Indeed it was a tortuous journey to his turning point. Having meandered through the thorny path to the creamy circle of the society, today, he shares the limelight as well as high recognitions where ever he finds himself. Like most trailblazers, he prepared for a battle early in life and learnt to stand strong on his feet. More often than not, he runs on his steam. Mbah has a distinguished career in politics, business, and public service.

For blazing peerless trails in the area of entrepreneur, Mbah has been bestowed with several prestigious awards.
There has been many such famed awards from far and near, even in the recent past. Peter Mbah who could be fittingly described as a relentless fighter for good cause and a defender of truth, has given generously to education, youths and community development. He is generous and philanthropic.

As a man of the future and a new age leader, receptive to modern ideas, Chief Mbah is not unmindful of the fact that the resources of any nation is dependent on its human capital, with particular reference to the youths who represent the future of any nation. For instance, an uneducated youth is a burden rather than a resource. No wonder he has devoted a large chunk of his resources to human capital development with deliberate attention on youth development over the years.

As was noted earlier, moving up the socio-economic cum political ladder was not easy for him as some who viewed his rise to the top as a difficult pill to swallow, had flung stones and punches in his direction. These treacherous elements in their determination to undercut his ever rising profile deployed the tool of mudslinging and blackmail. However, he was able to navigate his way out of these intrigues to fame and fortune. Through patience and sobriety, he has been able to establish a foothold in the oil and gas sub-sector of the economy.

Born on March 17, 1972, in Enugu, Enugu State, to the family of Chief and Mrs. Gilbert Mbah, Peter Mbah is a native of Owo in Nkanu East Local Government Area of Enugu State.

Chief Peter Mbah, who is the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Pinnacle oil and Gas Company, holds a degree in International Maritime Law from the University Of East London (UEL). As a student, he stood out as a strategic planner of events and a renowned organizer and mobilizer of men and resources. Right from his days in the school, excellence has remained his watch word. As a student leader, he stood out distinguishingly from the crowd as we shall discover shortly.

Between 1998 and 1999, he was the President of the Students’ Law society. While his tenure lasted, the society won the Students’ Union prize/certificate of achievement for the ‘Most Productive Society of the Year’. He was also member, Students’ Representative Council of the UEL, from 1999 to 2000, just as he was member of the School Law Board between 1999 and 2000 where he represented the final year students. This forward looking young man was to add another feather to his cap when he won the first prize of the University team to the International Negotiation competition. Additionally, he received the Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn major Bar Vocational Course Award in 2000.

Still at UEL, Mbah as a stand-out performer, had distinguished himself further as a foremost student representative with emphasis on the organization of men. He was later called to the Nigerian Bar where he received the Bachelor of law (BL) at the Nigerian Law School. He did his youth service in Lagos with the Law firm of Ude and Associates.

As a result of his ingenious attributes, some of his former lecturers and tutors at the UEL spoke glowingly of his person. Colin Sumner, Professor of Law and Head of the School of Law at the UEL, commented thus: “Peter has always struck me as an extremely determined and immensely capable young man. He is very sharp and alert, despite his easy-going manner…He resurrected a dormant body and won the University’s prize for the most productive society of the year … (he) led our student team in the International Negotiation competition”.

In the words of Ken McGuire, Senior lecturer and Mbah’s personal tutor at the UEL, “Peter is personable and well mannered. He is liked and respected by his fellow students and members of the academic at UEL. (He) is diligent, well organized and (a) hardworking student (and his) academic abilities are excellent… one of the best students I have taught at UEL. He is confident of his abilities and works extremely hard”.

In the same vein, his Nigerian lecturer, Professor Chris Ohurogu was not left out as he said: “He struck me as a very hard working, intelligent and highly motivated person (who) possesses such a degree of foresight and problem-solving mentality which surpass those of his peers”

Peter Mbah also attended the Army Children’s School, Bori Camp, Port Harcourt, and Owode High School, Owode Egba, Ogun state, where he obtained his school leaving certificate in 1984 and Senior Secondary School Certificate in 1992, respectively.

In 2004, he proceeded to the Lagos State University where he acquired a Master’s Degree in Maritime and Commercial Law. To ensure that his profile remains on the upward beat, Mbah has also participated in several other academic and capacity-building programmes, including the Master’s Degree in Business Administration from IESE Business School, Barcelona, University of Navarra, Spain, the Chief Executive Programme at the Lagos Business School; Postgraduate in strategy and Innovation at the said Business School, University of Oxford and various certificate programmes in frontline Business Schools across the world, including the standard Business School and Harvard Business School.

In 2003, a career breakthrough had launched him into the front of the line as he became the Chief of Staff to the Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani. As the Chief of Staff to the Governor, he was the Chairman of the Tender’s Board, member of the State Executive Council, just as he was a member of State Security Council. With this leadership reckoning, he was later appointed the Enugu State Commissioner for Finance and Economic Development in the same administration. As an insignia of excellence in Business and Public Service, he was able to take the flag from half-mast to full mast. He began by establishing a sensible fiscal policy for transactions with the Government, as he developed a strict revenue management rules with minimum default rate. In this way, he was able to harness much of the Government’s fund for capital and human projects. The strategy document he developed was adopted as the fiscal operation document for Enugu State Development Programmes.

In a tribute, the Newswatch Magazine in a special publication of July 3, 2006, described Chief Mbah as “a man ahead of his time”. As Commissioner of Finance and Economic Development, he was a member of the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee (Nigeria’s highest fiscal allocation body), Chairman of the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee’s Sub-Committee on Legal Matters; Chairman of the Enugu State Joint Account Allocation Committee; Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Enugu State Finance and Investment Company.

“Mbah’s experience cuts across various sectors and activities, including, import trade, Oil and Gas sales and distribution and Maritime logistics”. Apart from Pinnacle oil and gas limited, he also takes charge in a group subsidiary company known as Pinnacle Pointers-a real estate and hospitality company.

Given Chief Mbah’s wide and significant socio-economic and political antecedents, the Godfrey Okoye University, Enugu, in November 2021, at her 8th and 9th combined convocations, conferred on him a doctoral award, honoris causa in political science.

As a philanthropist, he has created opportunities for both the young and the aged to have a good life. In testament to this, he has several students-majorly of Enugu State origin on his scholarship scheme. In fact, the people are not in a hurry to forget his meritorious contributions in the state. Chief Peter Mbah is also part of the reason why the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has retained her popular appeal and firm grip on Enugu State since 1999. Today, the opposition parties are in a weak opposition in the state with poor caliber membership spread across the state. From time to time, Chief Mbah has continued to provide attractive incentives for his party as a way of oiling its machinery. To the average party member, Mbah is a good news. This perhaps explains why his governorship aspiration is said to be fired majorly by the youth population within his party and Enugu state at large, apart from the warrant of support from the leaders. His ambition commands wide interest and respect among the people of the state and beyond.

Chief Mbah has a lot of good points:
-He speaks quietly, yet firmly
-He comes across more as a statesman than a politician
-He is heavy with wisdom and rare intellect
-His commitment to issues of human welfare is well known
-Infact, Mbah is not one to keep mute or speak in muffled voice over issues that bother on the interest of the people. etc, etc.

The Peter Mbah we know is willing and prepared to govern with focus on raising the bar of good governance by delivering for the people in a manner devoid of sheer sloganeering and the cunning and subterfuge of words. As a matter of fact, there is a convergence of intra supportive elements that are prepared to patronize his choice and ensure his success at the polls if he emerges his party’s standard bearer, come May 2022.

Having held private and public sector positions, there is no doubt that he is well fitted for the job. With his background from the private sector, he can achieve a government goal through private sector engagement. Amongst the aspirants for the Lion building Enugu, are mercantile politicians whose only interest is “self”-and who having amassed wealth through governance must remain in power to protect it. It is not enough to aspire to occupy an office to succeed an outgoing governor or any other political office holder for that matter, what is important is, what is the content of the alternative that you are offering? Apart from being an influential and illustrious son of the state, his business acumen and successes are the propelling factors that the people saw in him that made them to encourage him to show interest in the guber race. Their thinking is that he will bring into governance of the state the same careful and meticulous financial discipline that he used to build his business empire. And as a governor, he will not disappoint those who have vouched for him. As a technocrat with verifiable antecedent, Chief Mbah stands out in the crowd with his good understanding of the demands of leadership. We must not base our choice on barbaric and backward sentiment since the end result could be bruising.

Over the years, Chief Mbah has garnered sufficient global and economic management experience to run Enugu State, unlike the other aspirants who have either none or weak experience in governance issues. Indeed, Peter has the requisite governance experience and what is lacking in this regard can be largely compensated for by his immense experience in corporate governance, economic management and organizational reforms. Looking at this legion of governorship aspirants in Enugu State today, it is very clear that Chief Mbah is well rounded for the job, having gone through the crucibles of scholarship, learning and knowledge acquisition. Let us pool our resources together and make his aspiration realizable. With his solid support base across the wards and Local Governments of the State along side other winning qualities, Chief Peter Mbah remains the best hand to succeed Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi in 2023.

It is therefore safe to conclude that Chief Peter Mbah remains an undisputed benchmark for quality leadership in an oasis of incompetence, and therefore should be given an opportunity to make Enugu State competitive.

J.J. Nwachukwu writes from University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus.

Prof. Bart Nnaji: Nigeria’s bright spark – TNEC

Enugu State is indeed blessed with numerous sons and daughters who by distinguishing themselves have emerged global citizens and the Nigeria’s former Minister of Power who had also served as Minister of Science and Technology Prof. Bartholomew Nnaji, OON, CON, NNOM, FAS, FAEng stands out among them in all ramifications, in consideration of his mind-blowing achievements in his chosen field of endeavour. Prof. Bart Nnaji is a native of Umuode in Nkanu East Local Govt. Area of Enugu State.

Prof. Bart Nnaji, a true and core son of Igbo land had his elementary school at St James’ Isigwe, Ugbawka in Nkanu East LGA and St. Anthony’s Obe in Nkanu West LGA respectively. He finished with Distinction. He also attended the famous St. Patrick’s College, Emene Enugu where he excelled in academics as well as in sports.

Prof. Nnaji is a grassroots man who in 1975/1976 with the legendary International Goalkeeper, Emmanuel Okala of the (Flying Antelopes), Rangers International Football Club of Enugu, represented Ndigbo of the then East Central State at the national sports festival. He competed in track and field events and came home with laurels.

After he graduated from St. Patrick’s Emene, due to his sporting prowess, he got a job at the Enugu Sports Council and later secured admission abroad on scholarship.

He is a member of Sports Hall of Fame of St. John’s University, New York.

Prof. Bart Nnaji is the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Geometric Power Limited, the first indigenously owned power generation and distribution company in the country without federal government sovereign guarantee. The power plant has generation capacity of 141MW but licensed to produce 181MW.

Due to Prof Nnaji’s drive for human empowerment and to really crystalize this, Geometric Power Ltd has its catchphrase as “…Empowering the people”.

Prof. Nnaji is the first black man in American history to be bestowed with the title of Distinguished Professor of Engineering.

The first African to become Director of the United States National Science Foundation-endowed Centre for Scientific Excellence.

The first Nigerian to win the Baker Distinguished Research Award which is considered the equivalent of the Nobel prize in Industrial Engineering.

The first African to write a book which was declared the best book in manufacturing engineering of the year throughout the world.

The first Nigerian to be honoured by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund as the African Scientist of the year.

The first black man to graduate as the best student of the year at St. John’s University in New York which was 120 years old then.

The first indigene of Enugu State to win the Nigerian National Order of Merit, NNOM which is Nigeria’s highest honour for intellectual and artistic achievement.

The first Nigerian to increase electricity generation in Nigeria to about 5,300 megawatts and all of it was successfully put on the national grid.

The second Minister to come from Nkanuland in Enugu State.

In 1993, at Okpara Square, Enugu, all the Traditional Rulers in Nkanuland conferred on on him the traditional title of Onwa Nkanu.

It will be recalled that no sooner had he become a professor at less than 29 years of age in 1983 at the University of Massachusetts than he set up the Bart Nnaji Foundation from which over 400 persons have benefitted. Some of the beneficiaries are today distinguished lawyers, high court judges, academics and other professionals.

He has awarded overseas scholarships for postgraduate studies to brilliant students who are today executives in places like Ford Motors and the Lagos Business School, and none of them is a member of his family. Prof. Nnaji has built houses for widows and paid school and medical fees for numerous orphans and other indigent individuals without ever letting such acts go public.

When the residence of the parish priest of St. Rita’s Catholic Church Umuode was burnt, Nnaji wasted no time in moving the priest to his own residence. Needless to state, he is the pillar of St. Rita’s Parish Umuode.

In Nnaji, one sees a human manifestation of the scriptural saying that there is no love greater than the fact that a man should lay down his life for the benefit of his people.

Apart from his overwhelming intellectual accomplishments and penchant for transparency and accountability in all his dealings, there is an aspect of Prof. Nnaji’s life many Nigerian’s do not seem to know: A life of sacrifice.

He lives almost entirely for others. He leaves no one in doubt about his ability to transform our economy and introduce sound leadership ideas to drive rapid development in all sectors of the economy, including job creation, agricultural revolution, improved security among other laudable initiatives.

It is no wonder therefore that a coalition of different concerned Enugu groups and citizens who have yearned for a paradigm shift in our political trajectory, taking a leaf from Anambra State, are calling on H E, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, all stakeholders, and the entire Ndi Enugu to support this great achiever, Prof. Bart Nnaji, to occupy the Enugu Lion Building in 2023.
