Real Estate Tycoon Dr. Nnena Njoku Leads US Investors to Billionaire Prince Arthur Eze’s Palace, Visits IDP Camp With Former Delaware Governor

Dr. Nnena Njoku has led a team of investors and partners to the palace of Nigerian billionaire oil mogul Prince Arthur Eze, accompanied by the immediate past governor of the state of Delaware, United States of America. The visit marked a strategic push for closer bilateral business ties between Nigeria and the US, with a focus on rare earth minerals, mining, and solid minerals.

Dr. Susan Nnena Njoku, a renowned real estate developer, businesswoman, philanthropist, and the financial secretary of the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria REDAN, hosted the delegation which included Dr. Bethany Hall-Long, who served as Delaware’s Lieutenant Governor beginning in 2017 and became Governor on January 7, 2024 after Governor John Carney resigned to become Mayor of Wilmington. She also served in the Delaware House of Representatives from 2002 to 2008 and in the Delaware Senate from 2008 to 2017. The team also included businessmen, politicians, and investors.

Speaking with pressmen after the palace meeting, Dr. Nnena Njoku highlighted key aspects of the discussion. She said the meeting focused more on rare earth minerals, mining, and solid minerals, adding that this was a shift towards a closer relationship with the United States of America and the state of Delaware.

Dr. Bethany Hall-Long stressed the need for deeper collaboration in areas of energy exploration, security, ICT, education, and healthcare. In her statement, she said, “This would be my first international visit out of the United States and I chose to visit Nigeria. I am being hosted by Dr. Nnena and her partners here in Nigeria. I am glad to see that all we read about insecurity in Nigeria is not what it is here on ground, and I will like to ask partners around the world to seek business opportunities in Africa.”

The Managing Director of NOVENTIS USA/Africa, Dr. Nnena Njoku, who is hosting the business team visiting from the state of Delaware, encouraged the government to strengthen bilateral cooperation with businesses in Nigeria and the United States of America. On behalf of the team, Dr. Nnena Njoku and her husband, Dr. Everestus Njoku, with their partners thanked Prince Arthur Eze for receiving them and for his willingness to do business with NOVENTIS International.

In a separate humanitarian effort, Dr. Nnena Njoku, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Kamsomarvy Limited, paid a visit to the internally displaced persons camp in Area One, accompanied again by the immediate past governor of the state of Delaware, Dr. Bethany Hall-Long. Dr. Nnena Njoku was in the company of her husband Dr. Everestus Njoku, Honourable Jeffery Omoh Ozemegwa, Special Assistant on Inter-Governmental Affairs to the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Climate Technology and Operations at the Presidency, Mrs. Professor Adam, the wife of the Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja, as well as other businessmen, politicians, and others.

Dr. Nnena Njoku explained the purpose of the IDP camp visit. She said, “My visit here today is to celebrate with the people and also feel their pulse and share their pain.” She encouraged them and shared foodstuffs and gifts with the vulnerable children. She and Dr. Bethany Hall-Long then took a tour around the IDP camp to see firsthand the complaints raised by the people, including poor delivery by women, bad hygiene, and the unconducive environment within the camp.

Dr. Bethany Hall-Long addressed the people and consoled them while she also pledged support for them. She encouraged the government in the war against terrorism and asked them to do more in areas of empowerment for the women in the IDP camp. Dr. Susan Nnena Njoku, hosting her friends at the IDP camp, called for support from the general public to give to the less privileged ones at the camp.

On behalf of the team, Dr. Nnena Njoku and her husband Dr. Everestus Njoku, Dr. Bethany Hall-Long, Honourable Jeffery Omoh Ozemegwa, and their partners thanked the leadership of the IDP camp and said they would visit again.
