The former governor who is Diabetic and has letter A-Z in his name, in an effort to diversify his investment portfolio and capitalize on emerging opportunities, including huge benefits of exporting fertilizers to Nigeria, had turned his attention to Ukraine.
Findings show Ukraine presented a promising landscape for investment, particularly in the fertiliser industry hence recognizing the potential for growth and profitability, he decided to establish multiple fertiliser plants in Ukraine.
The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has had far-reaching consequences, with many investors, including the former governor, bearing the brunt of the conflict. The loss of his investments is a major setback for the former governor, who had hoped to reap dividends from his venture.
