Tony Ezena Alias Orange Drugs
On a sunny day of April 21,1957 a male infant was born in Port Harcourt into the Ezenna family.The infant would later be baptised Anthony Ndubuisi by his parents, late Mr Ernest Ukwandu Ebilekwe Ezenna and Mrs Confort Ebiliekwe Ezenna of Owerri Akokwa in Ideato LGA of Imo state. As a child under the tutelage of his father, Ezenna demonstrated early in life that he was destined to be a shrewd entrepreneur and business administrator. His resourcefulness in handling his father’s business at a young age signposted the success that would later litter his path as a businessman. Thus, driven by hard-work, self-discipline and diligence, the young Anthony was to branch out of his father’s to establish Orange Drugs.The year was 1988. The modest take off of the young company was in Owerri, the Imo state capital.
