May 23, (THEWILL) – The wife of Elder Eme Ekeoma, Group Managing Director of Nepal Oil, is one of the few female philanthropists cum entrepreneurs who sits atop many conglomerates and has succeeded in running such huge conglomerates.
Ngozi Ekeoma has her hands in maritime business with her Quest Shipping Ltd. She is also into travel and tours which her company, Geo Travel and Tours Company, handles. Her other interests include manufacturing, insurance and aviation.
As an enterprenuer, Mrs Ekeoma mobilised and built an Isolation Centre in Umuahia, Abia State, during the COVID-19 pandemic. She has awarded scholarships and mentorship schemes to so many under privileged in the society.
The serial entrepreneur turned 50 a few weeks ago. As expected, she rolled out the drums in celebration.  Many celebrities, especially entertainers, graced her birthday celebration. Despite her stupendous wealth, the successful business woman is no stranger to controversy. She was allegedly accused of stealing the nation blind. The Abia State-born mother of four was said to have allegedly committed fraud to the tune of $10 Million via the Nigerian Petroleum Subsidy Fund. She allegedly used one Chukwuemeka Ekwunife and Ugochukwu Onwuegbuna to create two firms in Liberia called Dexter Oil Limited and Structured Energy Limited.
The companies were allegedly used to conduct illegal oil trading transactions outside the country. Her company allegedly transferred Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) intended for consumption in Nigeria for sale overseas. She also allegedly used Ekwunife to arrange fake papers in Liberia in order to receive money from the Federal Government through a subsidy system. Supporting documents, such as the Bill of Laden, Product Recertification and Certificate of Origin were allegedly created and used for trade that never took place in the country.
