Ngozi Janice Okonkwo was a kind, passionate, driven, focused and diligent leader. She was an exemplary professional and an astute lawyer who commanded respect from all who knew her. For those of us who were fortunate enough to know and work with her it was indeed a privilege. She was the Chief Legal Officer at Oando PLC and a proud ‘Human of Oando’ who exemplified the companies core values of Teamwork, Respect, Integrity, Passion and Professionalism. Over the years, she received various awards including being listed as one of the top 100 Most Influential People of African Descent as part of the United Nations international decade for people of African descent (2018), Legal 500's GC Power List Africa (2017) and Top 100 Corporate Counsels In Africa by Legal 500 (2016 and 2015). In November 2018, under her leadership our Legal team won the ESQ Legal Oil & Gas Team of the Year Award. This is in addition to several other team awards from 2015 to 2017. In 2019, she led the Legal department to win the award for ‘The O-Team’, described as the most hardworking team, problem solvers focused on achieving goals to move the company forward. The award was validation that her work and the ethos she had imbibed in her team resonated positively across the organization. Let us cherish the wonderful memories of her but also emulate her attributes and achievements. In our grief let us be thankful for her life, those that she impacted and those that she left behind. She will be greatly missed.

Tribute to a Star, Dearest Clo, The tears cannot stop falling! How can I forget the words of advice you always had for me on how to become better and excel. How can I forget the commendation you lavished on me at the last Company’s games. As Team Captain, I left the team’s trophy with you because I wanted you to be the next team captain, alas! God had bigger and better plans for you. How can I forget the celebration lunch you hosted and the spa treatment you recommended. How can I forget how you always called me specially” Kelechi” (my Igbo name), you said I always reminded you of your son, “ I won’t call you Funmi” you always said with a smile. How can I forget how passionate you were about women empowerment, women leaders and women excelling. At the last Women’s meeting I attended, you encouraged women to work harder, better, help each other up and look out for each another. How can I forget your smile, not to mention your calmness, grace, tact, strength, and passion to excel. I cannot forget you! Keep Shinning! I will surely miss you.
