Business mogul, Chief (Sir) Joseph I. Ukeji is undoubtedly a silent achiever and one of the most successful businessmen in Nigeria. The billionaire founder of Ejison Group of Companies has built his business on the foundation of truth and hardwork, indirectly employing more than 1000 employees. With some successful brands like Bullet Energy Drink and Pure Heaven Wines, Ukeji has redefined franchising and elevated trading into an art. In fact, he has grown his business beyond trading in strategic sectors like manufacturing, oil and gas, hospitality and real estate. Report even has it that his investment in properties in the South East is unrivalled. 

As a top player in the fast-moving consumer goods with presence in 36 states of the federation and the FCT, his dexterity in business has been recognised within and beyond the shores of Nigeria as exemplified by his being decorated with the 2014 Excellence In Business Award from the former British Prime Minister, David Cameron.
