About The Founder

During his primary, secondary and university education, all of which took place in Nigeria, Dr. Chris saw first-hand the dangers of poorly funded education and ill health, and how these can limit the potentials of otherwise gifted students and individuals. 

Having overcome these obstacles himself, he swore that, whenever he can, he would do all within his powers to ensure that those coming after him would not have their dreams cut short by these same impostors. Over the years, therefore, Dr. Chris has nurtured the burning desire to give back to the society, in the firm belief that, as he strives to rise to greater heights in life, he would do so while lifting others.

As his dreams crystallise to reality through this Foundation, Dr. Ifediora is optimistic enough to believe that dreams, backed with the necessary actions and sacrifices, can, and will always change the world. He is also realistic enough to acknowledge that the tasks ahead are enormous, and that the challenges of turning his dreams into sustainable realities go beyond the mere dreams and actions of one man.

For the above reasons, the OCI foundation will constantly seek to partner with all men and women of goodwill, as well as those that nurture similar dreams as O.C.I. himself (as the Founder is fondly called). All Governmental and Non-governmental organisations, as well as private and public establishments, and volunteers, are welcomed to partner with us as we work towards a better society.

The OCI Foundation has started with a primary focus on the Anambra East Local Government in Anambra State of Nigeria, where the founder hail from, and thousands of lives are already being impacted upon yearly (directly and indirectly). With time, however, it is hoped that the Foundation will reach out to more beneficiaries across the entire State of Anambra, and then to the entire States in Nigeria, as well as the African Continent, cutting across all gender, age, ethnic, social and religious backgrounds.
