Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is with great honour and profound joy that I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Hon. (Prince) Nwiabu Legborsi , NACCIMA Chairman on Trade Negotiations Trade Group, on his investiture as the President of the Ogoni Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture (OGCCIMA). Today, we celebrate not only the inauguration of a visionary leader but also the 16th anniversary of the Chamber, a testament to the enduring commitment and resilience of the Ogoni business community.
Hon. Legborsi’s illustrious career, marked by exceptional achievements in law, international trade, and private sector development, positions him uniquely to lead OGCCIMA into a new era of growth and prosperity. His extensive experience in trade policy, legal advocacy, and youth empowerment underscores his dedication to fostering an environment where businesses can thrive and communities can prosper. His journey from the Royal Dynasty family of King Nwiabu Kote to becoming a distinguished trade leader and civil society activist is truly inspirational.
Under his leadership, we anticipate a revitalization and strengthening of the Chamber’s role in driving economic development, investment, and job creation in Ogoni.

Legborsi’s tenure will bring about a renewed focus on collaboration, innovation, and sustainable growth. His unwavering commitment to personal and professional integrity, coupled with his passion for community development, will inspire both current and future generations of business leaders in Ogoni and beyond.
The investiture ceremony and the celebration of OGCCIMA’s 16th anniversary are significant milestones that highlight the collective achievements of the Chamber and its members. The inauguration of the Executives and the recognition of distinguished individuals and organizations who have made remarkable contributions to Ogoni’s economic landscape serve as a powerful reminder of the potential we hold when we work together towards a common goal.
