Dr. Ernest Chijioke Madu believes that people in the developing world have a right to world-class health care. At his three Heart Institute of the Caribbean clinics --in Kingston and Mandeville, Jamaica, and in the Cayman Islands -- he delivers more than $1 million a year in free or reduced-care treatment, a significant contribution in an area where 56% of hospital deaths are caused by cardiovascular disease.

Now Dr. Madu is hoping to transfer HIC’s mission and achievements into other low-resource nations. His next target is Nigeria, his home country, where the Heart Institute of West Africa is scheduled to open in 2009. Though AIDS and malaria are huge factors for Africa, Dr. Madu emphasizes the importance of treating cardiovascular disease, which is the second leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa, after HIV/AIDS, and the leading cause of death for people over 30.

Dr. Madu's work on noninvasive evaluation of coronary artery disease in obese individuals has become a standard evaluating tool.

For conceptualising and driving a unique business niche in the strategic oil and gas sector that put Nigeria first in terms of environmental protection while partnering the oil majors; for providing em­ployment opportunities for a teeming populace and for his notable, impactful philanthropy, Dr. Tony Ugochukwu Eze is The AUTHORITY Icon.
A restless visionary with over 30 years of experience in the Oil and Gas sector, managing both human and material resources, it is perhaps not surprising that he is proud to be one step ahead of the Nigerian government’s efforts to encourage locals to take a bigger role in the oil and gas industry which was made law in the 2010 Nigerian Content Devel­opment Act. Meet Dr. Tony Ugochukwu Eze, President/CEO of Specialty Drilling Fluids (SDF), now one of Nigeria’s largest integrated oil and gas service companies.
Eze who hails from Amokwe, Udi, in Enugu State, holds a B.Sc. degree in Busi­ness Administration from Winthrop Col­lege, South Carolina U.S.A.He is also managing seven other companies apart from Specialty Drilling Fluids Limited. He is also a member of Board of Trustee of Women’s Right Advancement and Protec­tion Alternative (WRAPA), an NGO body. He is a PAUL HARRIS fellow of the Rotary International, District 9140.
In his words: “I had a dream, which I manifested by the incorporation of Specialty Drilling Fluids Limited (SDF) after coming back from the USA in the 90s. At that time I was one of the first to establish an oil servic­ing company in Nigeria. I hold a B.S.c degree in Business Administration from Winthrop College, South Carolina in the U.S.A and a doctorate degree from Madonna University, Nigeria. With hard work and commitment to excellence I was exposed to the dos and don’ts of the oil and gas business and can proudly state that I have almost 30 success­ful years of experience in the Oil field sector.”
From The AUTHORITY checks, SDF is a 100% indigenous Waste Management Com­pany which specialises in the provision of high quality waste management handling services to the Oil and Gas Sectors, using the latest cutting-edge technology at its op­erational base at Onne, Rivers State. Pres­ently, SDF carries out business as dealers and agents in drillings fluids, drill cuttings re-injection, drilling chemicals, mud cleaning, mud engineering analysis, chemical refiners, rental of storage tanks, trucking, provision of marine spread,solids control and filtration services amongst others. They have one of the biggest warehouses in Port Harcourt.
According to Tony, “We have expanded our facilities by the acquisition of a brand new plant, The Thermal Oil Recovery Plant (THOR) which we located at Onne, on a space expanse of 30,000sqm. The THOR system is the latest technology in drill cut­tings treatment and the first indirect thermal desorption unit designed to remove hydro­carbons from drilled cuttings and recover clean oil.”
Clearly, the petroleum industry is the larg­est sector in Nigeria and the main generator of GDP. The major players like Shell, Exx­onMobil and Chevron all have one thing in common: choosing Specialty Drilling Fluids (SDF) as a service provider to assist their activities. From modest beginnings in 1991, this company has grown to handle projects in excess of $100 million and has one of the largest turnovers of oil and gas service com­panies in the country.

Chief Jerry Chukwueke, MD/CEO of Germaine Group of companies and Dominion Automobile group

For the compelling sweep and courage of his entrepreneurial vision, succeeding to put his community, region and country on the continent’s business map; for his astute political and philanthropic footing which have significantly impacted society, Chief Jerry Chukwueke, Ohamadike Owerri, is The AUTHORITY Icon
No less a child of providence, he rose from a very humble take-off as a night guard at Ford Motor Com­pany, US, to an exemplary entrepreneurial game-changer, astute political strategist, and philanthropist of note and a worthy son of his community, state, region and country. Meet Chief Jerry Chukwueke, Ohamadike Owerri.
He was born on January 25, 1957, to late Uba Chukwueke and Chief Mrs Martha Chukwueke of Umukwe Ndegbelu in the ancient kingdom of Awaka, Owerri North Local Government Area. Dreamy-eyed Jerry started off an eventful, challenging educational career that ended up at Mor­gan State University, Baltimore, Maryland US where he read Political Science and In­ternational Studies.
From an unlikely take-off from the old boy of St Augustine’s College Nkwerre and St Francis College Oturkpo, Benue State, he left the shores of his fatherland quest­ing for progress. As things would unfold he rose from the position of a night guard to that of a General Sales Manager in a Ford Motor Company in the USA in re­cord period of six years.
Haunted by a vision of much higher business ground, Chukwueke quit the Ford Motor Company to establish his own automobile company known as Do­minion Automobile Group with major dealerships of Ford, Mercury, Chrysler, Plymouth and Dodge Motors, a vibrant company with over 200 staff strength and annual turnover of over $60 million. More was to come.
When the American economy went into recession in the early 90s, this preco­cious young man divested from the US to invest in Nigeria, setting up the Germaine Group of Companies with interests span­ning the areas of automobiles, logistics, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and Real Es­tate. Today, this conglomerate now boasts a respected position in the map of top class indigenous companies in Nigeria, with an annual turnover of over N10 billion with over 500 employees. The Germaine busi­ness group, has diversified into other firms, including oil and gas and hospitality Indus­tries.
He was in 1991 among the Top awardees of Dominion Ford Mercury Award of the Dominion Automobile Group. The Guard­ian Newspaper, in 2008, named him one of 20 outstanding Role Models in Corporate Nigeria, while Tell Magazine named him amongst 20 notable Leaders in Corporate Nigeria. From business he forayed into phi­lanthropy and politics and not surprisingly has made his mark.
His large, multi-faceted impact on soci­ety made grateful monarchs from Owerri Zone to consider him to be conferred with the Ohamadike Owerri Chieftaincy title which he took not long ago.
On hand to witness the honouring of a worthy son included, Dr Ikedi Ohakim, former Governor of Imo State, Hon Emeka Ihedioha, Deputy Speaker House of Reps, Senator Hope Uzodinma, Eze Cletus Ilo­muanya, Chief Agariwe, President Ohane­ze Ndigbo, Chief Leo Stan Eke, Barr.

Vegasirius Nigeria
We started out in 2012; however, the people in our team have been in the industry for more than 25 years. Our core business lies in supplying integrated services to the oil and gas sector. In terms of services, we market lubricants and fuels. We also provide anti-corrosion coatings for pipelines, well testing, construction for the oil and gas business, and engineering and project management. We also carry out maritime services, which includes shipping and clearing and forwarding logistics. Many transportation companies complain about accidents on the road, or that their products do not reach their destinations; we intend to close that gap. Instead of going overland, our trucks board ferries. We collaborate with logistics firms to create a more competitive environment. We would also like to add to our presence on the Nigeria-Equatorial Guinea route. Most of the goods that are used in countries such as Ghana, Senegal, and Liberia originate in Nigeria, so there is always a back and forth of raw materials from those countries to Nigeria, such as rice, honey, and gold.

CHAIRMAN/CEO SUDRIVA GROUP OF COMPANIES, MARTIN AGBASO

For his bold, broad vision of life - which has translated into achievements traversing academics, politics, business, philanthropy and uncommon compassion; for impacting his society through quality leadership and exemplary personal conduct, Chief Martin Agbaso is The AUTHORITY ICON
He is a profound thinker, astute econo­mist, politician of note and entrepreneur with a broad vision. Meet Chief Martin Agbaso, former governorship candidate in Imo State, former Imo State Senator for Owerri and ex- Special Assistant on Ecology to the President. Recently, he emerged National Chairman of the All Progressives grand Alliance (APGA).
He was born on April 5, 1959 in Emekuku, Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo State. The first son of Chief Nathan and Mrs. Anna Agbaso, strong adherents of the Catholic faith, who imparted Christian virtues of faith, hope and charity, early in their son’s life.
Young Martin began his early education at Our Lady’s Primary School, Emekuku (now Chief Obi Memorial Primary School), from which he grad­uated with the First School Leaving Certificate in 1971. He proceeded to Sabastine Academy, (now Emekuku High School), where he graduated in flying colours in 1976, receiving his West African School Certificate (WAEC).
He enrolled at the prestigious Pontifical Uni­versity in Rome, Italy, and in 1980, earned his Advanced Diploma in Social Sciences. This was rapidly followed by a B.Sc. and NASD Degrees in Finance, from the State University of New York, Old Westbury, USA, in 1983 and 84 respectively.
The committee of International Students at the Pontifical University of Rome found him wor­thy and elected him Secretary General in 1980, making him the first African, to be so elected. He was a recipient of the Clyde Winfield Academic Award for Excellence at the State University of New York, where he was also the First Black Aca­demic Chairperson, of the Students Union Gov­ernment in the 1982/83 academic session.
His corporate career began soon after gradu­ation when, in 1983, he joined Prudential Inc. of New York, a world-famous financial Derivative and Strategic Investment Management organiza­tion. He rose through the ranks and by 1991 he had become a Financial Analyst in Prudential Incorporated, with all the power, contacts and personality manicure that go with high corpo­rate office in the US.
He became a member of the New York Stock Exchange (1985); member, Million-Dollar Roundtable on Interest Sensitive Products at Prudential Incorporated (1985); and Member, Commodity Improviser of New York (1987). In these positions he learned the rudiments of prudence, cost control and containment, and as a natural consequence, acquired the economic mindset of a good manager of men and materi­als.
Between 1994 and 1995, he founded SudRiva Construction Company Limited and SudRiva Oil and Gas Limited. Both Companies have since evolved into major players in both construction and oil and gas sectors, with Chief Martin Ag­baso serving as their Executive Chairman.
Despite all the odds, Martin won the Imo East Senatorial seat under the platform of the Na­tional Republican Convention against the likes of Dr Roland Anyanwu, Chief Bright Nwanne. His chain of companies continues to employ over 700 Nigerians in different states of the fed­eration while his foundation for orphans, the less privileged and widows in Imo State have touched many lives.
In 1998, after it had been agreed that Ow­erri Federal Constituency should produce the next senator, he stepped forward, confronted and defeated Chief Iwuanyanwu in the election under the platform of the Democratic Party of Nigeria (DPN). In 2001, Martin accepted Presi­dent Olusegun Obasanjo’s invitation to serve as his Special Assistant on Ecology, a role he played from 2001 to 2004.
Today, he is the national Chairman of APGA, already providing visionary leadership. He is married to Robin Agbaso, an American.

NRG Drilling Nigeria Limited
As of today, we are 98% compliant with the Local Content Act. We are compliant, and the supply chain is full, except in areas where we have to absolutely go through the outside sourcing of critical items. We have come to this because of national content regulations, and we would like to attain a reference point from that and maintain, increase, and develop it. We feel confident that by the time we start working in more challenging terrain with foreign companies that we will be able to deliver. We are predominantly a gas country, as opposed to an oil address. Hence, the international price of gas and the logistics of selling it from a country such as Nigeria would end up naturally localizing the utilization of our gas. Therefore, the earlier we get into gas-related projects, the quicker we will start to come and take on our own natural position on the issue. We hope to expand across the entire African continent. The more the world gets to know about the opportunities in Africa, the more attention will come this way.

Obi started Storm Records with his cousin Olisa Adibua in 1991. The first outing with the name Storm was a club promotion called “Enter the Dragon” in the summer of 1991, and then in 1992 they developed a TV show called “Clapperboard Weekend Raps” on Nigeria’s first private TV station. From the Rap show, they made and discovered several stars including Daddy Showkey and Jimmy Jatt, but the key artists were Trybe of Troubadors, Latee and the Wazobian tribe, Nodeen, Junior and Pretty, Ikechukwu, Naeto C and Sasha.

Njideka Ugwuegbu-Harry is the founder of the Youth for Technology Foundation. Through cooperation with major international ICT companies the Foundation has managed to benefit over 4.000 youth since its establishment in 2000. It has also pioneered a digital village movement in and for Nigeria.

In 2000, she got support from Microsoft and the World Bank to establish the Owerri Digital Village – the first community technology centre of its kind in West Africa. She also launched a non-profit organization, Youth for Technology Foundation (YTF), to operate the Owerri centre and to coordinate other Nigeria-based activities.

Four years later, Njideka launched YTF project, SpokesYouth. A program which spills children out from the community technology centers into nearby villages, armed with audio-enabled PDAs and perhaps with digital cameras.

The SpokesYouth idea was perfected during Njideka’s time at Stanford. She credits the other fellows and her faculty advisor, electrical engineering professor Bruce Lusignan, with helping her to make steady progress toward the prototype’s launch. Stu Gannes, director of the Digital Vision Program, provided useful coaching, as well.

Njideka is a former senior product manager in the financial strategy, planning and analysis group at Microsoft. She has received several non-profit leadership awards honoring individuals who have displayed, through example, a commitment and excellence to philanthropy and service. Njideka Harry graduated Cum Laude from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst where she studied Finance and International Business. She has a diploma in International Business from the Haarlem Business School, Netherlands. In 2004, she completed her graduate studies at Stanford University.

Gasop Oil Limited is engaged in the exploration of crude oil and natural gas, as well as the domestic marketing and transportation of petroleum products. Headquartered in Ghana and founded in 2002 with sister companies in Nigeria, Gasop is among the leading energy industry players in Ghana, applying innovative technologies to discover valuable energy resources and deliver the highest quality products to the marketplace. With operations that embrace the basins of West Africa, Gasop strives to be the company of choice for partners, customers, neighbours and employees in the areas in which we do business.

The prime objective of Gasop Oil Limited is to carry out exploration and production in the Saltpond Basin offshore Ghana. The Saltpond basin has a proven hydrocarbon accumulation since the only Oil producing well in Ghana is in the North Saltpond Basin.

2D seismic data acquired by Ghana National Petroleum Corporation over the area, reports and logs from exploratory wells in this basin have been carefully studied by our Geologists and Geophysicists and we are very certain of commercial hydrocarbon deposits in this area.

At present we have a signed Petroleum Agreement with the Government of Ghana for exploration rights licences for 2,050 Sq Km acreage.
