Civicwire.ng Celebrates Hon. Grace Amarachi Nwankwo-Okere: A Trailblazing Leader on Her Birthday!
January 9, 2026
Today, Civicwire.ng joins the chorus of well-wishers across Lagos and beyond to celebrate the birthday of an extraordinary woman in Nigerian politics: Hon. Chief (Mrs.) Grace Amarachi Nwankwo-Okere. Born on this very day in 1977 in Abia State, Hon. Okere has risen to become a beacon of empowerment, community service, and resilient leadership in Ejigbo LCDA and the broader Igbo community in Lagos.
As the only female councillor in the Ejigbo LCDA Legislative Arm (representing Ifoshi Ward), Hon. Okere’s journey is one of grit and grace. Her recent appointment as Chief Whip in 2021 marked a significant shake-up, where she swapped roles with Hon. Suraju Muritala, stepping up from her previous position as Majority Leader under The Mandate Movement (TMM). This move not only resolved internal party dynamics but also highlighted her as a unifying force in local politics.
A Multifaceted Leader and Community Pillar
Hon. Okere’s influence extends far beyond the council chambers. With a solid educational foundation—including an O’Level in 1994, a Diploma in Computer Studies in 2012, a degree in Mass Communication from the University of Lagos in 1998, and a B.A. in English Language and Literature from Nnamdi Azikiwe University in 2006—she embodies lifelong learning.
Her titles and roles speak volumes:
- Ada Ndigbo ji eje mba 1 na Lagos State and Adatugo 1 of Ndigbo in Lagos State—honoring her as a daughter and ambassador of the Igbo people.
- Ex-Officio Ndigbo in APC Lagos State and Woman Leader of the Regional Leaders Council Lagos State.
- Managing Director of Klass Beauty Home Enterprises, showcasing her entrepreneurial spirit.
- Member of the Council of Igbo Chiefs of Elders in Ejigbo, PCRC Ejigbo Chapter, and Lagos State Trademark and Artisans.
- Matron of organizations like Ohaneze Ndigbo Ejigbo Lagos, Music Association of Nigeria Ejigbo Chapter, Vigilante Group of Nigeria, and Adviser to the Lagos State Barbers, Hairdressers and Cosmetologists Association (LABHCA)—where she’s also Yeye Oge and the first Queen of LABHCA Institute of Cosmetologist and Hair Management (LICOHM).
Her numerous awards recognize her selfless service in humanity and grassroots development, making her a role model for women in politics and community leadership.
Contributions to Ejigbo and Beyond
In Ejigbo LCDA, Hon. Okere has been instrumental in fostering developmental programs, advocating for women’s inclusion, and bridging community divides. Her tenure as Majority Leader and now Chief Whip has seen her champion initiatives that promote unity, security, and economic empowerment—aligning with broader agendas like SHIELD and THEMES+. She’s a testament to how local leaders can drive change, especially in a male-dominated space.
On this special day, as Ejigbo LCDA also celebrates Chairman Hon. Aare Taoheed Adebayo Taiwo’s birthday, Hon. Okere’s shared milestone reminds us of the strong leadership duo propelling the area forward.
Join the Celebration!
Civicwire.ng salutes Hon. Grace Amarachi Nwankwo-Okere for her unwavering commitment. Happy Birthday, Ma! May this year bring more grace, achievements, and joy. We invite our readers to flood the comments with your goodwill messages, personal stories, or appreciations for this inspiring leader.
