Published

on

To the few who can remember the ‘Fatherhood With Ibe’, a weekly page in romance magazine, Hints in the late 80’s will have to attest to the other side of the new GMD of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Ibe Kachikwu as a family man, a good writer and dedicated publisher of the famous sensational magazine that was the pioneer of romance journalism, a genre that explores romantic tales and relationship issues across the country then.

Ibe was fantastic in his writing as he detailed his daily activities with his children (particularly his first daughter, Nkem) in the magazine.

Hints Magazine was a weekly publication by Mr Kachikwu’s True Tales Publication Limited and he invested a lot of his time as he made sure that despite his heavy schedule, he still writes his weekly page that became the favorite of many readers across the country.

Ibe Kachikwu who replaces Joseph Darwa yesterday as NNPC boss graduated with a First Class in Law from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka and had Doctorate Degree from the Harvard Law School.

He worked as an Investment Attorney in the US, General Counsel with Texaco Upstream and Downstream in Nigeria, Executive Vice Chairman of Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited and General Counsel For ExxonMobil Nigeria before he now became the GMD of NNPC.

In 2009, after two decades of hitting the news stand every week, his Hints Magazine became a monthly publication.

In addition to Hints Magazine, Kachikwu also publishes Complete Fashion, Beauty Box and Hello Nigeria.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently arrested prominent businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu, following allegations of fraudulent activities related to a multi-million-naira contract awarded to her company by a South-West state.

Achimugu, who serves as the Chairman of Bluewave Exploration and Production Limited, was detained last weekend after a civil society group filed a petition accusing her of involvement in dubious dealings concerning the contract. She was granted bail the following day but has been instructed to return for further questioning in the coming week.

Beyond her corporate endeavors, Achimugu is well-known in elite circles across Lagos and Abuja. Her social media presence showcases a lavish lifestyle, featuring exotic vacations, exclusive yacht parties, and private jet travels.

This arrest marks a significant challenge for Achimugu, whose business empire and social standing are now under intense public scrutiny. The EFCC’s investigation is ongoing, and the outcome may have far-reaching implications for her career and reputation.
