HON. AMBASSADOR UJU JOVITA ONWUDIWE

​

ACADEMIC HISTORY

Amb.UjuOnwudiwe’s academic history sets her apart as a personality in all ramifications. She is a product of the Prestigious Queen’s College, Enugu. Furthermore, she studied Accountancy at Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) bagging   Bachelor of Science degree (B.Sc. Hons.) and Master in Business Administration (MBA) degree, from University of Nigeria Enugu Campus (UNEC), a great lioness indeed. I will quickly add that she is still striving for higher academic accolades, onshore and offshore, not just for the sake of qualifications, but to be able to offer qualitative representation and proffer rare leadership sagacity going forward.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Igolo is a seasoned administrator and a financial expert who grew in corporate ranks and created performance records. Having worked through various cadres and ranks through Arab contractors, Mefor Systems Inc. and NnamdiNwakwesi& Co., she no doubt was drilled and equipped for impactful leadership and representative task. This is an eloquent indicator that she is not a political jobber but a polished gift and indeed an answer to a long-time prayer of Njaba and indeed the entire Orlu (Imo West) Senatorial zone for a selfless, compassionate, god-fearing, humane, intelligent, team-player, respectful, humble and focused leader. Today she is roaring where it matters, at the political epicentre of the Eastern Heartland, the hallowed chambers of Imo State House of Assembly, Owerri.

CORE VALUES

Hon. Uju has always maintained that her core leadership values deemphasizes self and promotes the needs of the people; the people-centric attitude. To her, nothing is worth celebrating except to rejoice that a needy has received concrete assistance to alleviate sufferings, end squalor and poverty, and heave a sigh of relief; living a quality life. She is a woman with compassionate heart and true human value without indulging in societal stratification aimed at identifying class. She indeed is a friend of the low, the high and the mighty… A FRIEND OF ALL

CORE FAMILY VALUES

When one focuses on her sterling qualities as a leader, the basic ingredients of true values may be lost. It is pertinent to note that Hon. Amb. UjuOnwudiwe’s humility and sense of purpose is a product of an entrenched core family value. She hails from a strong Christian home, a good and devoted wife, a good mother, wonderful aunt, relating excellently with all around her, humorous and a personal friend to all.

 In her biological children, one finds the manifestation of a devoted mother, a true friend of her children and an inspiration to all. To all her children in Njaba, we have a caring mother; the mother who truly has a large and loving heart. She indeed is a star per excellence.

EXPLOITS AT THE ASSEMBLY SO FAR

Since the inauguration of the 8th Imo State House of Assembly, Hon. Amb.UjuJovitaOnwudiwe has left no one in doubt of her zeal, determination and strides, to put Njaba conspicuously on the state map. She has been working tirelessly to ensure that the concerns of the people are given requisite visibility and attention. Having moved important motions, initiated a number of significant bills, and contributing to bills and motions in the plenary, she indeed is not a bench-warmer but a committed legislator of high repute. Presently she has a good number of important bills that tend to address poverty alleviation; economic diversification; and public safety, among others.

POLITICAL CREED

Perusing into Igolo’s political convictions, it is her political creed to serve the people diligently and obliterate the scourge of poverty and misery, provide good governance and representation based on Accountability, Transparency and Team work, enhance women and youth empowerment, provide rural infrastructure, be a champion of family values and preservation of societal values, provide basic education and curl child education, integration of community into governance, and fruitful touch on the lives of the physically challenged, in addition to Re-orienting Youths towards Self Reliance/Employment.

​

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, Hon. Amb.UjuJovitaOnwudiwe is a new breed leader, who though has mingled with the political waters, but remains stainless and resolute about minimizing the negative attributes of politics. To her, positive change can be possible where people learn to identify with causes they are fully convinced of; not purely a matter of clannish interest. She strongly believes in the dictum of Mahatma Gandhi– “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”
