Ụmụnnem, It is time to think home, so I invite us all to pause, reflect with clarity and purpose. For too long, the quiet neglect of Alaigbo has slowly weakened our collective foundation, leaving our cities, towns, states and entire region exposed to stagnation as talent, capital and energy continue to drift away. What lies ahead, if this path remains unchanged, is a gradual erosion of our influence, values, culture, opportunities and shared prosperity for generations to come. But regardless, the path to revival is clear and within our reach. Onitsha remains the premier commercial gateway of the Eastern region. Nnewi stands as our industrial and innovation engine. Aba embodies the spirit of manufacturing creativity and enterprise. Enugu serves as a centre of knowledge, administration and services. Ebonyi stands as the agricultural hub of Alaigbo. From Awka to Owerri and across our many towns and villages, each part of Alaigbo holds unique strengths waiting to be fully harnessed. Time and again, we have shown the world what we can achieve, how resilient we can be, what we can build when we decide to come together and work. The moment is here, let's redefine our purpose, redirect our direction and energy, pour our collective genius back into reviving and redefining our cities, towns, states and entire region. The #RedefineEdition of Onitsha Business Hangout @OBHNG_ is a call to this important recalibration, to act with calm determination. Alaigbo is calling us home, let us all answer. #RedefineEdition #RedefineOnitsha #OnitshaBusinessHangout





Another top-rated woman among Nigeria's richest women is Uju Ifejika, with a net worth of about 480 million dollars. Studying Chemical Engineering at the University of Port Harcourt was a choice that placed her in one of Nigeria's most male-dominated fields. Later, her Executive education, including programs at institutions such as Lagos Business School, deepened her business perspective. The oil and gas ecosystem became where she started her early career. Here, she worked with companies involved in engineering and energy services. These roles not only exposed her to industry experience but also equipped her with operational realities, projects, logistics, and the often-unpredictable nature of Nigeria’s industrial environment. 2007 became Uju’s most defining chapter when she joined Brittania-U Nigeria Limited, an indigenous oil exploration and production company. Rising through leadership to become CEO, she entered a space where indigenous firms were still negotiating relevance against multinational dominance. However, this phenomenon didn’t discourage her, as she embraced consistency in execution rather than aggressive visibility. As the CEO, her influence helped Brittania-U secure and operate oil assets, including interests in offshore blocks. In an industry where access is often politicized, her trajectory reflects persistence within regulatory and partnership frameworks rather than headline-making deals.
