The Nigerian Union branch in Douala is the largest of all the Union’s branches in Cameroon, especially as the City of Douala is Cameroon’s economic capital, and a majority of Nigerians living in Cameroon are primarily business people; it is estimated that that out of the over 4 million Nigerians residing in Cameroon, Douala alone hosts about half of that Nigerian population. For over a year now, Chief OKWUJIAKU BIC has been the one saddled with the responsibility of guiding his fellow countrymen to success outside of Nigeria.
Though it is a very difficult task, Chief OKWUJIAKU, has lived up to his promises, overseeing several ground-breaking projects, including the goodwill donation made to the internally displaced Anglophone Cameroonians living in Douala and its environs, that have made the Douala branch of the Nigerian Union, one of the most active associations in Cameroon.
Despite a relatively large success, Chief OKWUJIAKU BIC, is not relenting in his efforts in a bid to offer to Nigerians living in Cameroon, a platform to spark long-lasting success; he is at the fore-front of the Nigeria-Cameroon Trade, Tourism, and Cultural Festival (NTTC) to be organized with the Nigeria Consulate General of the Littoral and West Regions in partnership with all Nigerian diplomatic missions in Cameroon. The NTTC is a platform that will bring together Nigerians and Cameroonians in the domains of trade, tourism and culture, scheduled to take place in Douala by the end of September 2019; in the Festival, Nigerians are expected to tap from the available business opportunities existing in Cameroon, and vice-versa.
After a decade has passed since the organizing of the last edition of the NTTC, Chief OKWUJIAKU’s dynamism and vision for success, seemed to have been the catalyst to the holding of just the 2nd Edition of the Festival; and apart from just being the President of the Nigerian Union branch of Douala, he is known to be a goodwill ambassador, not just to Nigerians, but also to Cameroonians, whom he has either employed or granted scholarships.
Known to be a very down-to-earth man, Chief OKWUJIAKU BIC, in an interview while handing over financial and material gifts to some Cameroonians in distress, told the Governor of the Littoral Region of Cameroon that, he would rather want to be remembered by his works, and not by the level of personal success he has achieved.
