Emeka Offor

Emeka Offor (born February 10, 1959) is a Nigerian oil magnate and entrepreneur, born in Kafanchan,[1] Kaduna state.

He hails from Irefi Oraifite in Ekwusigo local government area of Anambra State, Nigeria. Offor had his primary education at Eziukwu Primary School in Aba, Abia State, and St. Michael's Primary School at Ogbete, Enugu. On completing his primary education, he began his secondary education at Merchant of Light School, and subsequently moved to Abbot Boys High School, Ihiala, Anambra State.[2]

He created the Sir Emeka Offor Foundation (SEOF) "to help people in need become independent and self-sufficient".[3][4]

His title of "Sir", is from his becoming a knight of the Anglican Church, but this has since been withdrawn due to his having several wives.[5]
