Chijioke Ugwu, who died aged 62 in July 2009, was an astute businessman who started with a pickup truck.
He used the truck to supply wood to construction sites in the southeastern Nigerian city of Enugu. With the money he made from that business, he bought another truck, which he gave out on hire purchase.
A native of Akegbe-Ugwu in the Nkanu-West Local Government Area of Enugu State, Mr Ugwu also owned a garri-processing plant that produced at least 30 bags daily.

Every Christmas Eve, Mr Ugwu would drive his first wife Obiageli Ugwu and their five children to the market to shop for clothes, foodstuff, shoes and any other thing they needed for the Yuletide. He also made sure that Obiageli’s drinks-and-beverages provision store was always filled with goods, and had begun plans to buy her a car.
