Hon. Ngozi Vivianne Orji

Hon. Ngozi Orji comes from a solid family background, her parents are well known in Bende North…too explain her roots. Good education and upbringing. Demonstrated welfare and empowerment programs for Item women, youths, and SMEs entrepreneurs vide her late father’s foundation by the family where she is President of Operations & Communications. These are some of the positives on her side while she has promised in her published agenda, as itemized, to do more for her Bende North if given the opportunity.

She is not riding on her parents good records even though you cannot completely rule out such residual effects and advantage. She has a first degree in journalism and a masters in business administration. She is coming with a diverse set of skills and professional experience in IT infrastructure and construction project management, which has given her technical and financial knowledge with overseeing large projects.

On a separate note, the main function of a legislator is to propose and influence the passage of legislative bills into law for good governance and improvement of the social lives of the people. Secondly, to attract visible and beneficial projects to his/her constituency. The character, integrity, history, and antecedents of the intended individual is a good guide in forming an opinion.

In these circumstances, Ngozi Orji fits the task. Let's scrutinize the individuals contesting for our representation and not necessarily their parties to enable us make the right choice.

Signed,
Okey Ogele

Breaking!!! Bende North 2027: Hon. Ngozi Vivianne Orji (NVO) Scales APC Screening, Impresses Panel

The aspiration of Hon. Ngozi Vivianne Orji (NVO) to represent Bende North Constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly received a significant boost following her successful screening by the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The screening exercise, which took place on Monday at the APC Secretariat in Umuahia, saw the frontline aspirant appear before a 10-member panel where she was extensively assessed on her knowledge of the party, its ideology, leadership structure, educational background, professional experience, and her vision for the people of Bende North.

Sources at the venue disclosed that Hon. Ngozi Orji, a native of Amaokwe Item and daughter of the late renowned Professor Herbert Onye Orji, impressed members of the panel with her confidence, intelligence, and detailed responses.

News Correspondents noted that she demonstrated a strong understanding of the APC’s ideals, deep grassroots connection, and a clear development blueprint for Bende North Constituency.

Speaking with journalists shortly after the exercise, Hon. Ngozi Orji expressed gratitude to God for the successful screening.

“We thank God for a successful screening. This marks another important step and the beginning of greater things to come for the good people of Bende North,” she stated.

Recall that during her declaration speech, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Nektaria Piston Int’l Ltd highlighted her longstanding commitment to community development through the activities of the Item Women Empowerment Initiative (IWEI) and the Herbert Onye Orji Foundation (HOOF).

According to her, the numerous humanitarian outreach programmes carried out in healthcare, education, agriculture, ICT, youth empowerment, and social welfare inspired repeated calls from constituents urging her to step forward and seek elective office.

She stated that public service would provide a broader platform to champion impactful legislation and policies capable of improving the lives of the people, particularly in the areas of infrastructure, economic development, healthcare, education, and youth empowerment.

Hon. Ngozi Orji also emphasized that her international exposure, having lived and worked in the United States and collaborated with global organizations, would help attract development partnerships and meaningful opportunities to communities across Bende North.

How it started when I picked up my Nomination and Expression of Interests forms from the APC Secretariat Office in Umuahia, Abia.

Being a woman running for office does not mean supporting only women and girls. I am Nigerian first, proudly from Bende North in Abia State, and when elected to serve in the State House of Assembly, I will remain available, accessible and committed to every indigene and resident of our constituency regardless of age, gender, religion or political affiliation.

Our vision is not merely to speak about poverty eradication, but to create systems that produce opportunity, innovation, security, academic excellence and global relevance for our people. Bende North deserves leadership that prepares our communities not only for today, but for the future of technology, trade and human development.

Ngozi Vivianne Orji is an APC candidate contesting for Abia State House of Assembly in her constituency of Bende North, Item Ward A. She is a daughter, sister, mother, aunty, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. She wants to serve the good people of Bende North from the House of Assembly to influence policies and create broader change.

Ngozi Vivianne Orji is currently the Managing Director and Owner of Nektaria Piston Int’l Ltd., a construction and engineering company working on projects in the South-South and Southeastern regions of Nigeria. She decided to become an entrepreneur after reaching the Project Manager level and dedicating 15 years of her career to the field of Information Technology. Before moving to Nigeria, she started an American based small business company that obtained a 20-year contract with the U.S. federal government. Evidently, she has a diverse set of skills, specifically in project management, with technical and financial knowledge that she will use towards implementing solutions to the main issues and problems decapitating Bende North.

Her principal agenda for progress and local development for the people of Bende North includes:

· Rural planning and infrastructure improvements for electrical power and water supply
· ⁠Better education facilities and digital learning revolution
· ⁠Agriculture funding, food security and global trade development
· ⁠Healthcare access and telemedicine development
· Capacity building programs for vocational training and certifications in blue-collar jobs
· ⁠Youth development, scholarships & human capital growth

Having lived and worked in the United States and collaborated with organizations in the U. S., she has built valuable international connections capable of attracting development partnerships and opportunities for our communities. Her plan is to also seek social responsibility from private sector companies in Nigeria including NGOs to ensure sustainability of projects in Bende North. Utilizing collaborative models to fill funding gaps and leveraging private-sector expertise in construction and maintenance is a key factor to local development. Public office will strengthen that access and help bring meaningful projects directly to Bende North. That is her goal and priority.

This is not to take away the credit and achievements from current leaders and their predecessors. If elected, she will always acknowledge and applaud her predecessor’s acts and contributions because when volunteering oneself to service, you open yourself to all kinds of attacks and criticisms or judgments (both at the same time can be constructive while others can be blatant lies to smear a candidate’s image). As she plans to take the driver’s seat, it is not a redo or a replacement, but to work together to enhance policies of the past, and where necessary, introduce new concepts to improve our community.

A Voice of Integrity and Purpose: Ngozi Vivianne Orji, daughter of late Prof. Herbert Onye Orji and Dr. Mrs. Nnenna Orji from Amutu Amaokwe, Item, is our best candidate for Abia State House of Assembly, Bende North.

In a time when leadership demands sincerity, courage, and visionary thinking, one person stands out with remarkable clarity — Ngozi Vivianne Orji.

Her life has consistently reflected discipline, transparency, and a deep commitment to doing what is right. She represents the kind of leadership that listens, understands, and acts in the best interest of the people.

Beyond her integrity, she brings with her a wealth of professional experience. Over the years she has demonstrated competence in leadership, decision-making, and community engagement. She understands the challenges facing Bende North, from youth empowerment to infrastructure, education, and economic growth — and she is prepared with practical solutions to address them.

Ngozi Vivianne Orji is also a visionary leader. She does not just see the present; she sees the possibilities of tomorrow.
