Peter Ekezie Foundation is established in honor of the Late Chief Peter Ehiem Ekezie and his late wife Mrs. Esther Ihuoma Ekezie, who were philanthropists and community leaders in their life times as well as parents of the Foundation Chair – Uchenna Peter Ekezie. Object: The objective of the Peter Ekezie Foundation is to drive job creation by encouraging indigenous investment in Small and Medium s
cale Industries which is in line with the UN’s Millennium Development Goals beyond 2015, a global course of action to end poverty, promote prosperity and well-being for all. The reasoning behind this objective is the apparent reluctance of Nigerians to play in the “Real” sector of the economy, leading to limited local ownership of Industries operating in Nigeria. We intend to do this by partnering with Governments and other NGOs to raise awareness of the viability of the sector as well as matching would be investors with experts in value streams of their interest. In addition we encourage a few students annually by awarding scholarships at the tertiary level.
