Profiles of EAU Honorands - Emmanuel Ikpengwa
EAU has pleasure in presenting the profile of honorand Emmanuel Ikpengwa from Nigeria. All biographies are given as supplied by the honorand in question.
Dr. Ikpengwa received the honorary degree of Doctor of Arts on 15 June.
CITATION OF DR. EMMANUEL IKPENGWA
Dr. Emmanuel Ikpengwa is one man whose name rings a bell in labour circles within Nigeria. Over the years, this man who is Second Term National President of the Construction and Civil Engineering Senior Staff Association has carved a niche for himself as an advocate of the rights and interests of workers. It is a salute to his commitment to workers that he was at a time the 2nd Deputy President General of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) 2003-2007, which is the umbrella body for all Senior Staff Associations in Nigeria.
Dr. Emmanuel Ikpengwa was born in 1954 into the family of Late Mr. & Mrs. Chinkata Ikpengwa in Abayi village, Ugwunagbo Local Government area of Abia State. He had his primary education at Abayi and Port Harcourt. After completing his early education, he was enrolled into Ngwa High School, Aba where he obtained his West African Examination Council, School Certificate with excellent grades.
However, his dream of progressing into higher institution of learning was temporarily interrupted by the sudden death of his parents, which occurred in quick succession soon after completing his secondary education. The incidence in no small means plunged the young activist into a terrible state of neglect and the only choice available was to join his uncles. Living with uncles was not the best experience for Emmanuel. For one, he could not have access to the good things of life. Significantly, his uncles still had to take care of their own children and personal problems. It became extremely difficult for him to achieve his dreams. When it became apparent that surviving in the East would be difficult, he decided to move to the West where there was a better prospect of employment.
Few days after he arrived Ibadan, his expectation came to reality. He was engaged by the Institute of Agricultural Research, Ibadan as a laboratory technician. Even when he was earning a living from the institute, Emmanuel knew that nothing short of a university certificate would be good enough. After working for a few years he decided to enroll in the University of Lagos for a Diploma in Computer Programming. Those who knew him during that programme testify to his unique intelligence and leadership qualities.
Upon completing the programme, he was employed by NCR West Africa and by coincidence, he was sent to Dumez Construction Co. Ltd to install their computer systems. His professional competence got the attention of the Financial Director of Dumez during that assignment. The Director was so impressed that he had to personaly negotiated his release from NCR to Dumez. He was initially very skeptical about working with a construction company but the Managing Director, Engr. A. Kamel ensured that he never regretted any moment he spent at Dumez.
As a unionist, Dr. Ikpengwa has achieved even greater feats. For instance, as Secretary of the Dumez Chapter of the Construction & Civil Engineering Senior Staff Association in 1995, he was able to mobilize the staff to press for improved internal conditions of service for workers in 1996, he became the Union Chairman of the Construction & Civil Engineering Senior Staff Association (Dumez Branch). He recorded laudable achievements by encouraging the management of Dumez to increase the monthly package of workers by over 500%.
Consequently upon his achievement as Secretary, and later as Chairman of Dumez House Unit, he retained his position as an NJIC member for 10 years, a feat unrivalled till date. His relentless contributions at the NJIC did not go unrewarded. He bagged an NJIC Merit Award in 1999.
Comrade (Dr.) Ikpengwa was elected National President of Construction & Civil Engineering Senior Staff Association on November 1, 2002 and re-elected for the 2nd term in April, 7th 2006 and since then, he has not left any stone unturned in ensuring equity and justice in the welfare of workers in the Construction & Civil Engineering sector.
He was on the Board of National Productivity Centre, Abuja, representing labour 2005-2007.
Comrade (Dr.) Emma Ikpengwa is also a 2005 recipient of Development in Nigeria Merit Award on the sphere of labour unionism from PRS, Lagos.
Other awards to this distinguished Nigerian includes:
- PhD Public Administration (Honoris Causa) by Evangel Christian University of America, 2006.
- Leadership Support Award from Trade Union Congress, 2006
- African Role Model Award, by African International News Magazine, 2007
- Fellow Chartered Institute of Public Administration (FCIPA),Ghana, 2007
- Grand Fellow, Strategic Finance and Administrative Institute, 2008
- He has attended many conferences and workshops within Africa and Europe.
- He was a member of the Nigeria delegation to the World Petroleum Congress in South Africa, 2005, also in the Nigerian team to the 98th session of International Labour Conference (ILO) in Geneva, 2009.

He then enrolled into Gwale Secondary School where he acquired the West African Examination Council Certificate later proceeding to Mohawk College, Canada, for higher education.
Alhaji Ibrahim Garba has served in various ministries as Hon. Commissioner since 2003. He was a commissioner at the state Ministry of Land and Physical Planning. During his tenure, he regularized the issuance of certificates of occupancy within a month, which used to take years.
Also during his commissionership at the Ministry of Land, banks were approached to intensify the collection of revenue on behalf of the ministry as a result of which the highest amount of revenue was recorded due to this initiative. He was also instrumental in the setting up of the geographical information system in Kano State.
Alhaji Ibrahim Garba was also appointed the commissioner of the state Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources where he facilitated the establishment of Farmers' Groups for easy distribution of farm inputs thereby eliminating racketeering.
He improved the fertilizer distribution system and initiated the payment of money for fertilizer through banks which ensured that the money collected was remitted to the state treasury. He also resuscitated the Bagauca Fish Farms and the Farm Center Workshop which were dormant for many decades, among other numerous sterling and indelible legacies.
When he became the commissioner of information, all the three state-owned media houses were renovated and provided with the state-of-the-art modern equipment. He also instituted the monthly award for the best staff members of the ministry and its parastatals as a way of rewarding excellence thereby serving as a motivation to the staff to give of their best.
Also within his short tenure at the ministry, all the directors were given laptops to enhance their productivity in addition to the provision of a new standby generating set at the headquarters.
He spearheaded the gubernatorial campaign train for the second tenure of His Excellency, the Governor of Kano State which resulted in the jinx-breaking success of Malam Ibrahim Shekarau in the 2007 polls.
At present, he is the Hon. Commissioner of projects monitoring and evaluation. One of his enduring legacies is his involvement of private individuals and corporate bodies to rehabilitate the ailing education sector facing myriad of problems.
The public and private sector partnership has been a huge success as more than N500 million was spent by wealthy individuals and corporate bodies mostly banks on the renovation of public schools, construction of classrooms and other facilities as well as provision of furniture, computers and portable generating sets to all female boarding schools for conducive nocturnal academic pursuits.
Alhaji Ibrahim Garba regularly embarks on inspection visits to projects sites to ensure their proper execution and timely completion. It is to his credit that there no abandoned projects undertaken by the state government as all projects are either completed or on-going.
He ensures that contractors are promptly paid for their work or services through timely vetting of their interim certificates which made them happy and grateful for the setting up of the directorate unlike before when they were made to suffer due to unnecessary bureaucratic bottlenecks.
In his private life, Hon. Ibrahim Garba is into business and farming. His contributions and achievements both as a public office holder and a private entrepreneur has endeared him to many including the state governor, Malam (Dr.) Ibrahim Shekarau who sees him as a worthy, dependable and honest ally.
