Public Affairs commentator, Livy-Elcon Emereonye, has described renowned pharmacist and entrepreneur, Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa, as a living legend whose contributions to pharmacy, business and national development span generations.
In a birthday message in Abuja, Emereonye hailed Ohuabunwa as a professional giant, trailblazer, industrialist, boardroom leader and statesman.
He said Ohuabunwa’s career demonstrated how professional knowledge could be transformed into entrepreneurship, wealth creation and economic value, particularly through his contributions to Nigeria’s pharmaceutical industry.
According to him, Ohuabunwa expanded the frontiers of pharmacy by showing that pharmacists could excel in manufacturing, business, corporate leadership and national development.
Emereonye described him as one of Nigeria’s foremost pharmapreneurs, whose journey has inspired younger professionals to see education as a springboard for innovation and enterprise.
He also commended Ohuabunwa’s decision to participate in national politics and contest the presidency, describing it as an expression of civic courage and commitment to finding solutions to Nigeria’s challenges.
“True leadership involves not only identifying the problems confronting a country but also offering oneself for the responsibility of finding solutions,” he said.
Emereonye noted that Ohuabunwa’s numerous honours, including FPSN, FPCPharm, FNAPharm, MON, OFR and NPOM, reflected his contributions to pharmacy, business and national development.
He described the celebrant as a fine gentleman, mentor and pragmatic leader whose experience continues to inspire younger professionals and entrepreneurs.
Congratulating Ohuabunwa on his birthday, Emereonye wished him good health, wisdom, peace and many more years of fruitful service, praying that his legacy would continue to inspire generations.
