Nimi Briggs Makes History as Kalabari Kobiri’s First Female Leader

Few women embody the spirit of transformative leadership like Mrs. Nimi Briggs. As the dynamic CEO of NIMPAT Groups, she has carved a niche for herself as one of the most influential female executives in Africa. Her ability to merge business success with social impact sets her apart in a remarkable way.

Armed with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Business Administration from the University of Benin, Briggs has applied her academic grounding to build a conglomerate known for excellence, innovation, and resilience.

Her standing as a member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD) London further validates her commitment to global standards in organizational development.

Yet, her influence extends far beyond her professional credentials. Briggs is widely celebrated for breaking gender barriers by becoming the first female President of the Kalabari Kobiri in Abuja. This historic achievement highlights her relentless dedication to cultural preservation and community unity.

Her humanitarian work remains one of her most powerful legacies. Through her foundation, St. Patrick’s Charity and Love Foundation and The Shima’s Angels Charity Foundation she has carried out life-changing outreach programs across communities.

Founder of Peace Internationally Award, Kingsley Amafibe, described her impact vividly: “What Mrs. Briggs has done for widows, orphans, the sick, and prisoners is extraordinary. She has created pathways to education, healthcare, rehabilitation, and empowerment. Her humanitarian footprint is both deep and far-reaching.”

Her humanitarian achievements have earned her several global recognitions, including a Peace Icon Award, a Best Humanitarian Honorary Doctorate, and a seat on the Advisory Board for the 100 Most Notable Personalities.

Amafibe described Briggs as a beacon of hope. “Her compassion, courage, and commitment will continue inspiring generations to lead with humanity and purpose.”

Poised, visionary, compassionate, and endlessly driven, Briggs remains a shining example of what true leadership looks like leadership that transforms societies, nurtures culture, and uplifts humanity.
