- Emeka Esogbue 


In what has been termed "New Face, New Initiative," businessman and real estate practitioner, Amb. Jerry Ozioma Ojei is set to empower again, widows and less-privileged persons in his Ibusa community.


Amb. Jerry who disclosed this to PEN MASTER in an interview stated that the initiative was born out of compassion and love for the community. Overall, the program as planned will convey a sense of excitement around him. 


The Ibusa initiative, according to Amb. Jerry Ojei will establish several widows and less-privileged indigenes facing significant economic and social disadvantages with small scale businesses to foster economic growth and  self-reliance, conferring in them the capacity to rely on their own economic capacity and to manage their own affairs.


While the details of the program are yet to be unveiled, Amb Jerry assured that every stakeholder will be carried along accordingly as the empowerment program is set to hold on April 12 in the community. Like many in the community where philanthropy is a common feature, Amb. Jerry Ojei is not new in the act. On February 13, several women from the community were empowered by him but this particular program will be an improvement.


The Abuja-based philanthropist, a graduate of Economics who is also into agriculture and other financial investments, is looking forward to Ibusa society where the youths of the community will become financially independent to contribute to the growth and development of the community.


Amb. Ojei Ozioma has received numerous accolades for his philanthropic efforts, including Fellow of International Association of World Peace Advocates and Institute of Global Peace and Conflict Management, a testament of his global recognition.


A native of Umuogwo, Umueakea in Ibusa, Amb Ojei, a Director with Caninvest Company Ltd, continues to make positive impacts in his career.

A SHORT HISTORY OF OBOLLO CLAN IN ENUGU STATE, NIGERIA

A SHORT HISTORY OF OBOLLO CLAN IN ENUGU STATE, NIGERIA By Emeka Esogbue Introduction Not many historical literatures on the Obollo people exist for the usual reasons associated with our people who prefer to write the history of mighty and populous peoples already enriched with volumes of historical accounts and records.
