To avoid losing sales in the business sector, one needs to behave and think like a genius. As Johnny Carson once said, “Having talent won’t make you successful on its own. Being at the right place at the right moment won’t matter unless you are prepared.
The narrative of Stanley shows that multiple paths can be chosen regardless of one’s location or requirements; it only needs a milestone to reach the necessary goal for success. Stanley Uzochukwu is a Nigerian politician, investor, philanthropist, and business magnate. He was born on October 30, 1984, in Calabar, Cross River State, into the family of Bartholomew Uzochukwu. He is originally from Nnewi, which is located in the South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Stanley was educated at Calvary Science School in Jos, Plateau State, during his formative years. He attended the esteemed St. Murumba College for his secondary education and afterwards the Emmanuel International College.
He was accepted to study botany at the renowned University of Jos after taking the UTME, and he subsequently earned a bachelor’s degree in the subject.
Enthusiastic about business, he started supplying corporate groups with diesel and petroleum after graduating from university, until “Stanel Oil” was officially formed in 2012. The Stanel Group, which has a stake in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry, is led by him as chairman and CEO.
Stanley explained how the “Stanel Oil” business idea came to be in an interview with RAV TV America.
He explains how, in the absence of God, “Stanel Group” would not exist. And how shuttle vehicles were discovered to be transporting goods from banks to organisations, with the remaining companies providing diesel.
When he got up he realized that he had seen the business that would make it big.
He started “Stanel Oil” with only one truck that cost about 7 – 8 million naira. but he still believed that, whenever there’s a will, there would always be a way. After Purchasing his first truck,he refused to tag it, ‘Truck 1’, as the name would have been with all the rest of the trucks. To let others know about God’s work in their life,he decided to name the first truck, “Adonai” and the rest after the same order.
Stanley has committed himself to putting smiles on the faces of widows, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), physically challenged persons, orphans and prison inmates in Nigeria. Often offering support to those in needs and being a model to the younger generations.
He has been appointed as member of the Governing Council and Boards of Directors of Igbinedion University in June 2021 and the UNIZIK Business School in October 2021.Stanley has received awards under the category of Enterprise and Business impact of the year 2017 at African Achievers Awards, the event was held at the Houses of Parliament in London on 30 November 2017. He has also held the Award of Investor of the year in 2022.
Stanley Uzochukwu’s tale, from a little child with a dream to ultimately waking up to Success Call, is one to consider and comprehend that any circumstance could change the entire tale. The impact of believing in dreams cannot be Unmerited.
I love Mr Stanley’s commitment in giving back to the society.
