The son of the Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi, Osborn Nweze Umahi, yesterday visited the Ebonyi International Mall in the state built by his father, to celebrate with shoppers as he gifted many shoppers new year gifts.
Speaking about his visit, he said: “I visited the Ebonyi Mall which is one of the largest in Nigeria built by my father, Governor Umahi’s administration. We are grateful to God for enabling us complete such a massive project.”
He was in the company of his father during their visit to the mall with government officials and members of the public as they inspected the new mall in Abakiliki, Ebonyi State capital. The mall opened for business in December 2022 and has provided jobs for no less than 300 jobs for the indigenes of the state.
The mall, modelled after the Dubai Mall, was the latest addition to the infrastructure in the state.
Nwaeze, the CEO of Osborn Hotels, who is also an investor and a philanthropist, displayed his benevolence at the mall by paying shopping expenses of all shoppers present and giving out gifts.
Osborn, who bagged a master degree in Finance and Investment Management from the University of Aberdeen in November 2022, has demonstrated his business acumen since graduating at the age of 19 from Surrey University and becoming Managing Director of his father’s business, Brass Oil and Construction Limited.
He subsequently went on to found his own business, Lapalm Royal Resorts, and also ventured into financial investment and asset management, working as a director of Finance at Forte GCC Innovative Solutions.
