The late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah made an impact in whatever he was involved in. As a businessman, he made a lasting impression; as an oil guru, his presence was felt; as a leader, he touched many lives; and as a philanthropist, he was like sunshine to many whose lives he brightened during dark moments. He was unapologetically committed to the uplift of his community while also helping humanity.
The man, who was also the Chairman of Capital Oil, was a force to be reckoned with in Nigeria’s economic sector. His entrepreneurial exploits qualified him as one of the most audacious business moguls Nigeria can boast of. This exceptional achiever grabbed life by the lapel and got transformed into an enviable status filled with accomplishments.
Though his style and approach to some issues may be distasteful to many, he held his passion with absolute conviction, fighting many battles that would easily cower the faint-hearted, he dared the mighty, ventured into the unknown, and took the trophies everywhere he went.
His death on July 27, 2024, was a blow, not only to his family and friends, but to the whole country because he was a detribalised Nigerian who welcomed everyone. Little wonder tributes were showered on him during his burial in his hometown in Nnewi.
Today, as gathered by Society Watch, his immediate family, friends and close associates will remember the man whose lifetime was dedicated to the service of humanity.
