By Hon Achilihu Destiny

“Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee, and before thou comest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nation” – Jeremiah 1:5

The quote above aptly captures the amazing story and lifestyle of a man created to serve mankind and render selfless services to humanity. And he is no other than, Engr, Sir Enyinnaya Chima Nwafor (KSC).

He may not be the richest in Abia State, neither is this cerebral Philanthropist, called NANA NWAFOR the most popular personality, east of the Niger or indeed Nigeria.

However, his humility, human resource development, and sacrifices to the needy and downtrodden has placed him as the first among equals.

Born on the 17th day of December, 1975. He is the son of Late Dr Chima Nwafor, a two time Deputy Governor of Abia and Dame Gladys Nne Nwafor of Mbutu Umuojima Ogbu Village, Osisioma Ngwa LGA, Abia State.

A graduate of Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Federal University of Technology Owerri (Futo)

In 2008, Engr Enyinnaya Nwafor founded, TUNNEL END INVESTMENT LIMITED. The philosophy behind Tunnel End was to run a construction Company with wide clientele so much that he could share profit from it with mankind.

He has through his Non-Governmental Organization, “EACH ONE AID ONE FOUNDATION” lend a helping hand to our society at different times.

The Foundation also embarks on free medical programmes, Poverty alleviation for the youths, men and women through various empowernment templates in it’s kitty like :- grants, distribution of vehicles, motorcycles, wrappers, building of houses, distribution of rice and fertilizers, and other food items.

“Each One Aid One” has inadvertently become a beacon of hope for the depraved widows, indigent student, hopeless entrepreneur, the public servant grappling with poor welfare and some organizations battling with realities of harsh economic climate in the country.

Engr Enyinnaya Chima Nwafor is a devoted Christian and a knight of St, Christopher of the Anglican Communion.

His interest in politics is based on his conviction that it will be a veritable tool and an instrument to drive development to the grassroots and deepen democracy in Nigeria for the benefit of all her citizenry.

Nana Nwafor has neither been appointed nor elected into any Political position. In a bid to religiously pursue his ambition of governing Abia State in 2023, he joined the Young Progressive Party (YPP) and is currently the YPP Gubernatorial Candidate; voting his strength and resources to ensure his party wins and delivers at all times.

Engr Enyinnaya Nwafor is the man to beat in any transparent political process as he has overwhelming massive support from the grassroots – men, women and the youths across the 3 Senatorial zones.

Here is a man that has the people at heart. Engr Sir Enyinnaya Chima Nwafor loves Abia and it’s his utmost wish that Abia should take it’s proper place in the comity of states in Nigeria.

Sir Enyinnaya Nwafor is the man who is physically and spiritually disturbed by the sad narratives of neglect and leadership failures in Abia.

Here is a kindhearted man and the new face of Abia that is determined to change our story.
