For Osborn Nweze Umahi, getting used to the attention and pressures that come with being a child of the number one citizen of a state, living in midst of all these is something that he hasn’t gotten used to.
Osborn who is the son of Ebonyi state governor, Chief Dave Umahi, says that the journey so far has not been easy for him as being the son of the governor has exposed him to more attention and higher expectations from those around him.
He mentioned that holding such a position has brought him to the spotlight more than ever before which is one thing he didn’t bargain for.
Osborn having left the shores of Nigeria for UK where he studied and earned a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Surrey University and also obtained a Masters in Finance from Aberdeen University could have easily stayed back; he however returned to his home country to take over his father’s business as the Managing Director of his father’s business, Brass Oil and Construction Limited.
Business experts have therefore come to the conclusion that, as a result of his hard work and creativity coupled with his desire to make impact, the young man is changing the narrative.
While speaking about his passion for making impact in the society they described his endearing quality as having a positive attitude towards the empowerment of young and vulnerable Nigerians.
“I believe strongly that when you help someone, you are helping the society at large and indirectly helping yourself too, because we will all benefit when every member of society gets the help they need. Moreover of what use is wealth and influence if you fail to use to make positive impact on others?” he stated.
