Nigerians in China Honour Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah

The Chairman of Capital Oil and Gas Industries Limited and Publisher of The AUTHORITY Newspa­pers, Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, has been named the Grand Pa­tron of Nigerians in China.

Nigerians in the Asian country, who gave the award to the business mogul, also recog­nised him as “Youth Ambassa­dor of all Nigerians in China”.

While decorating Ubah with the double awards at the 160,000 capacity FC Ifeanyi Ubah Stadium in Nnewi, An­ambra State, the leader of Nige­rians in China, Mr. Elochukwu Chikwelu, said that Ubah has been a good brother and friend to Nigerians in China, especial­ly the people of Anambra State.

The event was attended by former Senate President, Ken Nnamani; former governor of Anambra State and Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen­ator Chris Ngige, Senator Uche Ekwunife and prominent Nige­rian politicians.

Prominent Nollywood ac­tors also witnessed the pres­entation at the Games Village during the recent Youth Music Festival and Talent Hunt held in Nnewi, Anambra State.

According to Chikwelu, “We are here to honour Dr. Pat­rick Ifeanyi Ubah (Ebubechuk­wu-Uzo Nnewi) because of his brotherly disposition to Nige­rians in China. “He is the only Nigerian that whenever he vis­its China, will look for his Nige­rian and Igbo brothers.

“He secures bail for our people held in prisons in China. We flew down from China just to tell him in the presence of Nigerians, and to let him know that we appreciate what he has been doing for our people, es­pecially Anambra indigenes in China. “Apart from decorat­ing him as our Grand Patron, we also recognise Ubah as the Youth Ambassador of all Nige­rians in China,” he said.

In his response, Ubah expressed appreciation to the group and promised to contin­ue to add value to humanity.
