When one’s path crosses with that of men and women whose achievements are unquestionable, there is every need to reckon with not only their endearing personality but with the whole of their virtues. Business tycoon and Chairman of Greenlife Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Dr. Obiora Anthony Chukwuka fits perfectly into that mould of a thoroughbred entrepreneur with a charming personality. With little or no airs at all, highly resourceful Chukwuka has worked his way honourably into the exclusive class of great achievers in Nigeria of today.
In spite of various challenges, the Nnokwa, Anambra State-born astute businessman has managed his business empire efficiently and effectively for four decades —he has been an active player in Nigeria pharmaceuticals industry since 1983.
Chukwuka’s quest for excellence has seen him transform his company from the status of a single shop-pharmaceutical products retailer into a highly structured multi-million dollar manufacturer of various pharmaceutical brands today. Unarguably, his flagship company, Greenlife Pharmaceuticals has become a household name with valuable therapeutic brands in Nigeria and beyond – all thanks to providence and the entrepreneurial skills he cultivated from his apprenticeship days. To this end, the accomplished gentleman had every reason to celebrate as he did recently when he rolled out drums to mark his 40 years in business.
Chukwuka used the occasion to appreciate God for the opportunity to help mankind through his chain of businesses which have taken many Nigerians out of the unemployment market.
As a generous giver and human capacity builder, the businessman also rededicates his life to the uplift of people through his humanitarian service. He never forgets his challenging childhood stories and background thus his decision to give succour to the downtrodden in the society via his Eze-Afakaego Foundation which he established in December 2010.
