AFRICAN GIANT OF THE WEEK: DR. STELLA CHINYELU OKOLI
This week, we celebrate a woman whose brilliance, resilience, and vision reshaped Nigeria’s healthcare landscape. Born in Kano and raised with a deep sense of discipline and purpose, Dr. Okoli studied Pharmacy at the prestigious University of Bradford in the United Kingdom. She returned to Nigeria not just with a degree, but with a mission — to make quality medicines affordable and accessible to Nigerians. In 1984, she founded Emzor Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, starting from humble beginnings. At a time when Nigeria depended heavily on imported drugs, she dared to build a local pharmaceutical manufacturing company that would compete at global standards. Today, Emzor is a household name, producing millions of life-saving medications and creating thousands of jobs. But Dr. Okoli’s impact goes beyond business. Through the Emzor Pharmaceutical Industries Foundation, she has invested in education, healthcare support, and community development.
