Lagos recently played host to a remarkable celebration as the immediate past Group Managing Director of FBN Holdings Plc, Urum Kalu Eke, marked his 60th birthday in grand style. The event was a dual celebration, blending personal milestones with intellectual enrichment through the launch of his book, “IMPACT – A Life of Urum Kalu Eke”.

The celebration, attended by a host of dignitaries, was a testament to Eke’s influence and legacy in various spheres of life. Held in a packed auditorium, the event radiated warmth and admiration as family, friends, and colleagues shared stories of his selfless contributions to professional excellence, community development, and faith.

The newly launched book was a central feature of the occasion. Reviewed by Mr. Olufemi Awoyemi, the work chronicles Eke’s life and impact under four key pillars: personal growth, professional achievements, community service, and faith. Awoyemi described the book as a rich source of wisdom, stating, “The book’s title is simple but intriguing and captures the essence of a man known for his professionalism, rigour, and impact on matters he chooses to handle.

“’UK,’ as he is popularly called, has fought many battles in the trenches of Nigeria’s gripping financial service industry. Like his Abiribaforbearers, he has sumo-wrestled social prejudice, kick-boxed professional incompetence, and shoulder-blocked organisational drift.”

Guests included prominent figures such as former gubernatorial candidate Olumide Akpata, former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria Mr. Ernest Ebi, and Seplat Energy’s former Chairman Dr. ABC Orjiakor, among others. Each shared heartfelt tributes, celebrating Eke’s legacy of impact and leadership.

For Eke, the occasion was not just a celebration of life but an opportunity to inspire others through his experiences.
