In the heart of Enugu, Nigeria, amidst the picturesque landscape of the ancient kingdom of Amurri, renowned academic luminary Chief Jehu Onyekwere Nnaji is being honored on his special day. Today, the eldest son of the late Elder Godswill Okafor Nnaji and late Mrs. Grace Onyenweaku Nnaji celebrates his birthday, marking another milestone in a life dedicated to scholarly pursuits, humility, and service to humanity.

Beyond the realms of academia, Chief Nnaji's passion for societal change led him into the political arena. In 2023, he boldly contested the governorship seat of Enugu State under the banner of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Through his infectious smile and steadfast commitment to harmony, Chief Nnaji continues to inspire hope and optimism among Enugu's populace.
Behind Chief Nnaji's illustrious persona stands his pillar of strength and support, his beloved wife, Lolo Amaka Nnaji-Ukwuaba. A distinguished professional in her own right, she serves as a testament to the Nnaji family's dedication to excellence and service.
