Mr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah is a driven man. Built like a solid rock with boundless energy, he has an effortless capacity to work round the clock. His ability to take tough and far reaching business decisions sometimes 12 hours non-stop marks him out as hard-nosed entrepreneur, tactful and foresighted business mogul of the 21st Century.
He is, beyond doubt, a leader in the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry in Nigeria today as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Capital Oil and Gas Industries Limited. The company has, within a short period of five years, become a flagship in the industry; and is the first among many other blue chip companies of similar and diverse concerns chaired by this hardworking, focused, determined and amiable young man.
A man of humble beginning, amiable, likeable and good natured personality, he holds a B.Sc in International Relations and is married to Mrs. Uchenna Ubah, a graduate of Business Administration from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. The marriage is blessed with five children.
The visionary Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Capital Oil & Gas Industries Limited, no doubt, is an ambitious business mogul who, from the very day he joined the oil and gas business, decided to distinguish himself and the company creditably.
Through a dint of hard work, personal conviction to succeed, visionary leadership and doggedness, he has, in a matter of six years, between 2003 and 2009, taken Capital Oil and Gas Industries Limited to a vantage position of becoming a dominant leader in the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry in Nigeria.
He also sits on the board of several other companies as Chairman, among them:
Knoll & Hachfer Engineering Co. Limited.
Chevron Oronite & Chemical Co. Limited.
Hero Communications Ltd.
First Nigeria Independent Oil Co. Limited.
Commodity Giants Nigeria Limited.
Capital Group Congo S.a.rl. in the Congo DR
Oil Force Nigeria Limited
He was profiled by the Oxford Brooks Magazine as one of the “Forty under Forty 2009,” that is, the top 40 young Nigerian business leaders under the age of 40.
Mr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah has received numerous awards and honours both in Nigeria and abroad in honour of his leadership qualities and outstanding performance in the oil and gas industry.
In recognition of his creative leadership and capabilities, he was conferred with an Honorary Doctor of Philosophy in Critical and Creative Thinking by the prestigious Montclair State University, New Jersey, USA.
He has been actively involved in top flight business management for over two decades, with vast experience in international business; and has attended several local and international courses and seminars in leadership and business management.
Besides all these, there is a part of this able visionary leader that we cannot leave out. Mr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah is an avid philanthropist and a motivator par excellence. In his recognition of the need to serve humanity and give back to the society, he provides succor to the needy.
Mr. Ifeanyi Ubah has established Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah Foundation through which he awards university scholarship to students - the first of its kind in the South-East, particularly Nnewi; sunk boreholes for his community, installed electricity transformers, engages in constant repair/grading of community roads and has, over time, kindheartedly provided free fuel to the popular Okada riders and bus drivers every Monday in all his filling stations.
The philanthropist par excellence is fondly called Ebube Chukwu uzo, meaning “Placing God First” in all his dealings. His business interests include Oil & Gas, Jetty Development, Maritime, Bonded Terminal, Truck Park facilities, Telecommunication, Real Estate and General Merchandise. -
