About Ngozi RBK Okafor

I hail from Nkwesi in Oguta local government area of Imo State, Nigeria.

I was born into a prominent family popular for public service. My father is the Late Chief RBK Okafor, an excellent businessman, and politician who served in various political offices such as Member Representing Owerri West in the Federal House of Representatives, Federal Parliamentary Secretary for the Ministry of Trade, Federal Parliamentary Secretary for the Ministry of Justice, and a one-time party chairman of the Nigeria People’s Party in Imo State. My beautiful mother, Mrs. Mercy Nwuto Okafor is also a business woman of impeccable character.

Ngozi RBK Okafor’s Story and Journey

I am proud to be the sixth child of their sweet union.
I received my primary education at Hope Children’s School, Lagos, and my secondary education at the Federal Government Girl’s College (FGGC), Benin-City, where I sat for my senior secondary school certificate examination.

I went on to San Jacinto College in Texas, USA, to obtain a degree in Nursing. I have been blessed to run many successful businesses and presently, I run about two non-profit organisations. I am a married mother of three beautiful kids. I am a Christian and a strong lover of my Igbo culture.

I am a Nigerian woman; one that continually strives to live an inspirational life through various humanitarian services, ultimately aimed toward people-focused progress and socioeconomic development. I strongly believe and preach that Nigeria with the right governance would be the best place to live because its people are resilient, diligent, and largely kind.

I hold a mantra that every Nigerian deserves Progress, that we will reach for it and we will eventually get it.

While living in the United States of America and carrying out professional health services,

I used the rare moment to understudy and work with some welfare agencies to gather great knowledge in community-based welfare programs, before going on to set up an NGO for the same purpose.

Returning to Nigeria, I have since continued these welfare programmes in my communities, extending the reach beyond healthcare to also cover education, civic responsibility, leadership, and other socioeconomic development.

In 2021, with a burning desire to do more for my community, I decided to run for Member Representing Oguta/Ohaji-Egbema/Oru West at the Federal House of Representatives.

Ngozi RBK Okafor’s
Philosophy & Approach:

The People

While one can have a great plan, it is important to make sure the people understand clearly how it benefits them while listening to the particular progress they would love to see.

Community Development

This would not only bring about transparency in governance/leadership, but it will also increase people’s participation in the entire community development process.

Progress & Ownership

If the people feel involved in the process, the progress that comes will not feel alien to them, they will take ownership in the outcome.
