Urbane, cerebral and ditribalised, Chief Agba is an astute businessman who sits atop as Chairman/CEO, a successful digital firm, Agba Gold limited. Agba Gold is Nigeria’s most trusted digital wallet implantation for precious metal trading platform.

A Billionaire businessman who was an undergraduate of the prestigious university of Benin, Chief Agba is a holder of one of the biggest and most revered titles in Igbo land, “Odagbulu Ihe Dagbulu Ihe Dagbulu Enyi 1 of Igboland”
A compassionate and largehearted man whose life philosophy is rooted in equity and justice and who hates to see people suffer, through Agba Gold Ltd, Chief Emeka Agba has helped many Nigerians, especial low income earners built enormous wealth from the scratch.
A philosopher, N’ Golo Kante probably had Chief Agba in mind when he said that ” it is good to win awards but the most important thing is to win together”.
For a man who looks out for others and believes that service to God and humanity are the greatest achievements of all time, Chief Agba dedicates this award to all those, who like him, are committed to the good of the society; to him, it is a collective recognition.
He is people- centred, result oriented, visionary, focused, purpose driven, goal- oriented; a pace setter and a business mogul with a midas touch.
A devout Christian, Chief Agba is a loving husband to his delectable wife and a dotting father to his adorable children.
