 Chidi Anyaegbu: Chisco Chairman Rejects Mayor of Ndigbo (Lagos) Title


Chief Chidi Anyaegbu, Chairman and CEO of Chisco Group has rejected the title of Mayor of Ndigbo (Lagos) initially scheduled to be conferred on him. The ceremony slated for December 16, 2024 was to take place at the Eko Hotels & Suites, Victoria Island Lagos.


In a press release personally signed by him, Chief Anyaegbu expressed deepest gratitude for the honour of selecting him for the title. He however decided to "step back" from the opportunity, due to "the politically charged nature of this position".


It will be recalled that an Igbo business community had planned to install the businessman as the first Mayor Ndi Igbo "as part of efforts to address longstanding business conflicts and foster economic growth."


The Media and Publicity Sub-Committee of the Organising Committee’s chairman, Ifeanyi Agwu stated that the Coalition of Concerned Igbo Business Community and the United Igbo Elders Worldwide selected Anyaegbu because it was necessary to have an office mediating between Igbo businesses.


He stressed, “The conferment of Mayor Ndi Igbo is borne out of an urgent necessity that time was way overdue. The republican and enterprising uniqueness of Ndi Igbo has sometimes been misunderstood by some elements of our host communities. Consequently, relationships have strained to boiling points. Many times Igbo businesses have been challenged, provoked, harassed, and economically assaulted by some in our host communities, in and outside Nigeria.


In the invitation cards sent out, the organisers said Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and many states' governors will attend the ceremony. The Obi of Onitsha, Nnaemeka Achebe was to serve as royal father of the day, amongst other royal fathers.


The Obi of Onitsha has however dissociated himself from the ceremony. He dismissed claims that he will serve as royal father of the day.


According to a statement by his Chief of Staff, Osita Anionwu, the monarch said he had neither been approached nor consented to participate in the event. “His Majesty does not understand the purpose of the event and would not want to be associated with it."

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
