Posted by Dr Stanley Uzochukwu (COA), Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stanel Group, was honored with The Sun’s Investor of the Year Award over the weekend in Lagos.
The organisers of the event, which honored men and women who have distinguished themselves as achievers of excellence in their different fields of endeavor, awarded the award in acknowledgment of the Stanel CEO’s effective investments in both people and capital development.
The 38-year-old businessman, who is [an] African youth model of humility, trust, and leadership excellence, borrowed N150m from his mentor, Dr Cosmos Maduka of Coscharis Group, a few years ago to execute a contract, but today, he has invested billions in human capital development and contributed enormously to the Nigerian economy.
Dr. Stanley Uzochukwu feels that the finest way to live a life is to make a difference in the lives of others and in society. He believes that investing in people is more important than purchasing luxury automobiles or properties. Hundreds of widows, orphans, children, and other underprivileged people have testified to this kindness.
The delighted young guy dedicated the medal to Maduka and thanked him for being a part of his success story in his acceptance comments.
As a result, one of the youngest board members of many private and public institutions is enthusiastically raising men and women via empowerment, job creation, and manpower development in order to give back to society. He is the organizer of the popular youth employment program, Access More With Stanel Master Class, in collaboration with Access Bank Plc, where over 3,000 kids are mentored by business professionals on business start-ups.
Rivers, Enugu, Abia, Bayelsa, Adamawa, and Taraba governors were among those honored with The Sun Award on Saturday.
