THIS IS… PETER NDUBUISI MBAH, ESQ [3/5]
Academic Testimonials
Peter’s academic records and grasp of administration, even in his student days, could be gleaned from the testimonials to his leadership given by his former lecturers and tutors at the University of East London, as well as here in Nigeria.
Prof. Colin Sumner, Professor of Law, and Head of the School of Law at UEL: “Peter has always struck me as an extremely determined and immensely capable young man. He is very sharp and alert, despite his easy-going manner… He resurrected a dormant body and won the university’s prize for the most productive society of the year… (he) led our student team in the International Negotiation Competition.”
- Ken McGuire, Senior Lecturer and Peter’s personal tutor at UEL: “Peter is personable and well-mannered. He is liked and respected by his fellow students and members of the academic at UEL. He is a diligent, well-organized, and hardworking student and his academic abilities are excellent… one of the best students I have taught at UEL. He is confident of his abilities and works extremely hard.”
- Prof. Chris Ohurogu, Peter’s lecturer in LASU: “He struck me as a very hard-working, intelligent, and highly motivated person (who) possesses such a degree of foresight and problem-solving mentality which surpasses those of his peers.”
Entrepreneurship and Business Acumen
Since leaving school, Peter has distinguished himself remarkably, seemingly to justify his tutors’ (Sumner, McGuire and Ohuruogu) projections of his capabilities. Aside founding Pinnacle Oil and Gas from an almost zero base-worth and nil reckoning in the corporate world, he also sits atop the board and management of Pinnacle Pointers, a real estate and hospitality company. His business and professional track records have taken him through several spheres of activities such as import trade, oil and gas sales and distributions, maritime logistics, and public service. As diverse as his career in the oil industry has been, its consistent underpinning factor has been the passion for organization, corporate governance, and the perpetual search for knowledge.
Peter has been a managing director and chief executive officer of numerous successful companies and sits on the boards of several establishments. Before Pinnacle Oil and Gas, Peter founded the Peter Mbah Investment Limited, a trading firm which served as the Nigerian representative to International Oil Corporation (IOC) based in Fresno, California, USA. He was the sole agent of IOC in Nigeria.
Peter also founded GILPEL Industries Ltd., a trading company involved in the import and sales of domestic electrical appliances, as well as Focus International Schools, a world-class primary and secondary school based in Lagos.
In addition to the huge strides he has made in the areas of business, human management, and public service, Peter is passionate about community development and service to humanity. His passion for intervention in community development is piloted by a zeal that is continuously driven by the quest for excellence, tenacity, resilience, and an indomitable can-do spirit.
