Popular Businessman Nuel Ojei is dead
Popular businessman and Chief Executive Officer of Nuel Ojei Holdings Ltd, Emmanuel Ojei, has died at the age of 74.
Fondly called Nuel Ojei, he passed away on Saturday night in his hometown of Issele-Uku, Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State.
His son, Chuks Ojei, confirmed the death in a statement released on Sunday on behalf of the family.
He described his father’s passing as a profound shock and an irreplaceable personal tragedy.
The statement read, “With a heavy heart, I confirm the passing of my beloved father. His death came as a profound shock to our family following a brief illness.
“Words cannot fully capture the depth of our pain at this moment, as we struggle to come to terms with the sudden loss of a man who was not only our father but our strength, teacher, and moral compass.
“My father was more than a businessman; he was a builder of lives and legacies. A distinguished Nigerian industrialist, entrepreneur, and business magnate, he served as the Founder, Executive Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Nuel Ojei Holdings Ltd.
“Through discipline, resilience, and uncommon wisdom, he built enterprises that created opportunities, inspired excellence, and contributed meaningfully to national development.
“To many, he was a mentor and leader of rare integrity. To us, he was a loving father whose counsel guided our steps and whose values shaped our lives. He led with humility, strength, and compassion, touching countless lives across generations.
“His absence leaves a void that can never be filled, but his teachings and example will forever remain our guide. Though his passing signals the end of a remarkable chapter, his legacy lives on in the institutions he built, the people he mentored, and the values he upheld.
“He is survived by his children, family members, and a wide community of friends, associates, and admirers who will continue to honour his memory.
“On behalf of the Ojei family, I humbly ask for your prayers, love, and support during this time of deep grief. Funeral arrangements and further details will be communicated in due course. An icon has fallen. A father is gone. His legacy will live forever.
