Uche Ọga, the CEO of Masters Energy, has achieved a remarkable feat by constructing an industrial estate in his hometown, Uturu. This estate is located close to his father’s house in Ọnụakụ, Uturu, Isuikwuatọ, Abịa State and includes houses for his neighbors. It is highly recommended to visit this impressive development.
One of the notable features within the industrial city is a petroleum products storage facility with a capacity of 158,000 metric tonnes. This facility has significantly bridged the gap in the supply of petroleum products in the surrounding areas.
Dr. Uche Ogah is dedicated to the growth of the local economy. His investment in the industrial city has created a remarkable 14,000 direct and indirect jobs, particularly benefiting the people of his hometown.
The industrial city also boasts a range of modern facilities, including an Information Communication Technology (ICT) center, state-of-the-art laboratory facility, a well-equipped hospital, police/security base, fire-fighting station, and residential quarters for workers.
As of January 2024, the Masters Energy industrial city in Uturu has ten functioning factories, producing a diverse range of products such as lubricants, grease, bottled water, juice, noodles, rubber, fertilizer, vegetables, rice, assorted wines, and tires. This impressive array of factories places the industrial city among the top five largest industrial cities in Africa and the first of its kind in Nigeria.
Masters Energy Group is a highly reputable oil and gas firm that has firmly established its dominance in the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry.
Located between Ebọnyị and Abịa, this industrial city is truly a hub of progress and development. If more Igbo billionaires and organizations contribute to their communities as Dr. Uche Ogah has done, we can expect to see further job creation and development in Igboland.
Words alone cannot fully convey the remarkable transformation undertaken by Uche Ọga in his hometown. It is necessary to visit and witness firsthand the level of development achieved. By investing in your hometown, creating jobs, and enjoying the dividends of your effort, you have the power to make a meaningful impact.
The development in Uche Ọga’s village is nearly on par with Victoria Island, Lagos, in terms of infrastructure and progress. For instance, the onuaku Uturu pooling unit, where he cast his vote during the 2023, general election, exhibits well-lit streets and well-constructed roads. The presence of a police station within his company compounds showcases his commitment to security. In comparison, his village, Onuaku Uturu, is even more beautiful than the capital city of Abia State, Ụmụahịa.
