This story beams light on the path to the success of Ichechi Okonkwo, founder of many successful businesses in upscale Lekki/Chevron in Lagos. The account underscores what being the wife of a successful man and parents means, and the motivating factor it could constitute. Mrs. Okonwko, interestingly narrates how she combined both to become the Managing Director/CEO, Laundry King, Sweet Dreams Essentials and Marketing Director of Nedcomoaks Ltd, owners of Victoria Crest Property.
Seeing how he put his time, resources and energy into real estate convinced me that it was something worth doing. I married a man who is passionate about bridging the gap in the real estate sector in Nigeria. It was not far from what I had known and it was not difficult for me to understand. My husband builds houses and over time, I started marketing them to friends and other clients. I have grown to become the Sales Director of the organisation.
Laundry King has been running for more than seven years. I have been able to build a good team and a structure to the extent that it does not require my presence for the business to function effectively. I mainly supervise their activities and I also have managers at different levels with specified functions. Supervising the Sales Directorate at Nedcomaoks takes much of my time. I ensure that I create time for my family and even go on targeted holidays.My father and my husband mentored me.
Being able to support people gives me a fulfilling feeling. I have a pet project dedicated to single mothers. A lot of girls get pregnant and they are abandoned by the person who got them pregnant and even their families. Unfortunately, they end up in slums and are abused severally. Our society is also hard on widows through the activities of relatives. I support single mothers with money to start trading while I sponsor some in skills acquisition training.
