Ozigbo as Anambra's Breath of Fresh Air


Ozigbo as Anambra's Breath of Fresh Air

- By Peter Osakwe

Val Ozigbo stands out in the galaxy of candidates for November 7, 2021, Anambra gubernatorial election not because he is flying the flag of a popular party but because he is the knight in the shining armour for Anambrarians.
You need not be clairvoyant to tell that Anambra is in dire need of fresh breath after eight years of mindless suffocation. And who will bail the cat?
Here is Ozigbo. Young, energetic, urbane, cerebral and unassuming yet well wired. His robust academic resume, uncanny strides and exploits in the corporate world firmly project him as the breath of fresh air Anambra urgently needs.


Valentine Ozigbo is the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the governorship elections in Anambra State and I dare say that the party got it right in the choice of flagbearer.
For a man who connects seamlessly with the people he is seeking to govern with his well-articulated Ka Anambra Chawapu socio-economic and infrastructural module which is also his campaign slogan, Ozigbo wears the Anambra shoe and knows where it pinches the people.
"The Chawapu project is designed to touch the future by building social and economic systems that last”, he says.
Val, as he is affectionately called by admirers, is a hard-boiled business administrator and entrepreneur and has dedicated close to three decades of his life garnering and putting into work experiences in the corporate world.
He is a thinker who thinks outside the box, visionary and purpose-driven. Ozigbo rises above the fray to stamp competency and accomplishment.
Ozigbo is not your janu-faced everyday politician. He is a straight talker who speaks the language of service delivery. This candidate comes across as a man of unadulterated zeal for enduring positivity, one who is adequately prepared for the task of reinventing Anambra.
Grassroots' favourite, Ozigbo has become a movement in Anambra. His state-wide acceptability and popularity attest to the fact that his message of redemption for the Ndi Anambra positively resonates with them.

Come November 7, Anambrarians will be saddled with a simple choice: Choose as their next governor a compassionate, shrewd, urbane and cerebral manager of men and resources or a perpetuation of the dark, anachronistic politicking and voodoo governance Anambra has endured.
Ozigbo represents the former. In him, American author John C Maxwell's characterization of a leader takes flesh and blood. Maxwell: "A leader knows the way, goes the way and shows the way."

Starting as a young goal- getting financial manager, the PDP candidate have traversed the business and financial firmament leaving impactful and enduring imprimatur in all spheres- hospitality sector, banking, manufacturing, energy etc.
Until March 2020 when he quit to explore other areas of service to humanity, including the possibility of serving Ndi Anambra as governor, Ozigbo was at the driver's seat of Transactional Corporation of Nigeria, Transcorp, a top-flight business conglomerate with an interest in agriculture, banking, hospitality among others.

Appointed President and Chief Executive officer of the Corporation in 2011, Ozigbo brought his corporate wizardry to bear on the outfit resulting in its burgeoning success.

For example, while at Transcorp, Val developed five new projects worth over $500 million including two new hotels in Lagos and Port Harcourt as well as other retail facilities that catapulted the conglomerate to a global height.

Born on July 20, 1970, Valentino Ozigbo attended Christ the Redeemer College where he obtained his SSCE certificate.

He obtained a degree in accounting from the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) in 1994 and an MBA in Banking and Finance from the same University in 2000.

In 1998, he obtained a professional qualification in accounting from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and Taxation from the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria in 2000.

In 2004, Val Ozigbo obtained an MSc in finance from Lancaster University, United Kingdom.

Val Ozigbo obtained a professional qualification in Credit Administration from the Institute of Credit Administration in 2015. 

Ozigbo's rise to the top of the corporate ladder was swift and meritorious. Before he was appointed the CEO of Transcorp, he had17 years of experience in the banking sector working with notable Nigerian banks including NAL Merchant Bank, Diamond Bank, Continental Trust Bank, FSB International Bank, Standard Trust Bank, United Bank for Africa and Bank PHB.

Between 1995 and 2000, he was the Head of Commercial Banking at Diamond Bank Plc. He proceeded to become the business manager at the United Bank for Africa (UBA) in 2000.

In 2001, Ozigbo was Acting Regional Director of FSB International Bank but returned to pick up the position of Head of International Banking at the United Bank for Africa (UBA) in 2004.

He left UBA for Keystone Bank as the Global Transaction operation in 2008.

Anambra is in for impactful, purposeful leadership as Ozigbo awaits coronation on November 7.

Congratulations to Ndi Anambra in advance.

Hon. Simon Uzama Okpalaeke: When A Good Man Takes A Bow

Hon. Simon Uzama Okpalaeke: When A Good Man Takes A Bow


By Ingram Osigwe


When a good man departs, hearts quake, eyes become teary and many become inconsolable.

The above are exactly the case with the people of Azia community in Ihiala local government area of Anambra state following the death of one of their illustrious sons, Hon. Barrister Simon Uzama Okpalaeke ( Ikenga Azia).

It was with profound sense of loss and shock that friends and associates of the family far and wide learnt of the untimely death, Hon. Barrister Simon Uzama Okpalaeke.

The Okpalaekes and indeed Azia community are at loos as to why their illustrious son had to depart at this time.

Every one who knew Simon is saddened and devastated by his departure not because he would have lived forever but because no one imagined Simon would be gone so soon.

During his life time, Simon was always full of wits and candour, very resourceful and devoted to humanity and to the things of God

For the entire Okpalaeke family and Azia community this is  an irreparable loss.

It is only with equanimity and calmness of heart that one can overcome this grief, knowing that Simon has ran the good race and is now resting in the bosom of the Lord.

The Okpalaekes, having amassed tremendous goodwill over the years, have been receiving  outpouring of words of encouragement  since Simon left. So,assuredly the family is not mourning alone.

Azia as a community and Anambra as a state mourn with the Okpalaeke family and grief with them too over the transition of this great son of theirs for he worked tirelessly for the upliftment of his community  and state.

Simon was a patriot whose love and passion for his people was unparalleled and unwavering.As a member of the Anambra state House of Assembly, as a lawyer, as corporate czar and as an international businessman, Simon left an indelible print on the sands of time in terms of attracting rapid development to Azia.

As a lawmaker representing Ihiala 11 state constituency, he left a salutary imprimatur of quality and people oriented leadership.

Simon was a selfless leader who gave his all, sacrificing his comfort and pleasure just for the good of his people.

His demise has indeed left a great vacuum in Azia for he was one of the beacons of hope for the community.

Surely, this is a painful loss and one can only  pray that God's abiding love be with the family and give them strength and comfort during this time of deep sorrow.

Though we grief and mourn because we would have loved that Simon stayed with us a little longer, one is consoled by the fact that his elegant virtues are acknowledged and applauded by those who knew him and what he stood for, for in the words of Abraham Lincoln, "in the end it is not the years in your life that counts, it is the life in your years".

Born in 1957, the young Simon attended Lafiaji primary school, Fegge, Onistha from where he proceeded to St. Anthony secondary school, Azia.He was to finish his secondary education at Uli Boys High school, Uli in 1979, obtaining Grade one in his WASC Examination.

Simon would later study law at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, graduating in 1986.

After Law school in 1987 and Youth Service in Ede, Osun state, the following year, he, in partnership with some colleagues, set up a law firm, Duru, Okpalaeke and co at 103 Awolowo way, Ikeja, Lagos. It was a successful practice as the firm handled many landmark cases and won.

The expansion of the family business, GINPAT Aluminium soon required Simon's legal expertise and he was made Head of the company's legal Department and Director as well.He held these positions in the company till his demise on February 1, 2021.

Notedly,  GINPAT is a pioneer aluminium company founded by three unique brothers namely Chief Godwin Okpalaeke(the Onowu Azia) the late Chief Pat Okpalaeke (Omezilibe Azia) and  now late Hon.Barr. Uzama Okpalaeke (Ikenga Azia).

Indeed, the Okpaleke family of Azia community, through Uzama was able to show Nigerians that three brothers can live in one compound, cook in one pot and show love.

In-between the periods of his law practice and positions at GINPAT, Simon shuttled abroad for international businesses and was at a time a force to reckon with in the importation of refrigerators and air conditioners.

He also worked for Dozzy oil Ltd as MD of one of the company’s subsidiaries.

Being a very popular, humble and grassroots person, Simon in 2007 contested and won election into the Anambra state House of Assembly to represent Ihiala  constituency 11.

It was to Simon's credit that during his representation, he attracted the construction of the road leading to Nkwo Okija from the St. Anthony Catholic church junction.

He also gave Ebonesie community the ring road from  Azia through Mbosi to Orsumughu.Infact, during his time in the House, the Ihiala constituency 11 never had it so good in terms of quality representation.

A knight of St. John International, Simon was a caring husband to his lovely wife and heartthrob, Chinyere (nee Enendu)  whom he wedded in 1992, and a dotting father to their six wonderful children who are all successful in their various fields today.Some are IT gurus, pilot and lawyers.

A man filled with milk of human kindness, as an individual, Simon introduced Full page to some prime accounts. He also extended similar gestures to so many other friends.

The late Ikenga Azia belonged to so many clubs e.g Diamond fitness club, G 21 etc and he was never passive in any of these clubs.

Hon. Barrister Simon Uzama Okpalaeke, Ikenga Azia, the people's person, the humane, the kind hearted, a man with a heart of Gold, will sorely be missed.
