Otti will be speaking on the topic: “Enterprise Across Generations: Merging Indigenous Business Knowledge With Modern Investment Strategies for National Prosperity”.
While the former governor of Imo State, Chief Achike Udenwa, will chair the event, the Vice-Chancellor of Veritas University, Abuja, Rev. Fr. Prof. Hyacinth Ichoku, will review the book: Platinum Footprint of Enterprise: The Life, Leadership and Legacies of Chief Chidi Anyaegbu, The Godfather of Transport, Chisco.
Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Kate Omenugha, at a press briefing, said that the public lecture was instituted in honour of Chief Chidi Anyaegbu, Chairman of Chisco Group, because of his invaluable contributions to societal growth.
She also disclosed that there would be a groundbreaking ceremony for the Department of Transport Management and Chidi Anyaegbu Multipurpose Auditorium on that day.
Omenugha revealed that the billionaire businessman would be endowing the sum of N1 billion for the purpose of erecting a structure that would contain the transportation department and his auditorium.
“We wrote a book in his honour. We got contributors from all over, including the Vice Chancellor of the University of Transportation”, she disclosed.
“The VC is coming because he also contributed to this book. So, we got people from diverse backgrounds to contribute to this book. And the aim of doing that is to further immortalise a man who we call the Godfather of transport business.”
