I grew up with the late Peter A. Nwomeh in 1949, when the two of us from Umuoha kindred started primary school at St. Paul's RCM, now Central School, Ozalla.
As a child growing up, I held an impression about the man Peter Nwomeh, that he was an academic giant par excellence whom no one could match.
On behalf of my wife, children and the Ibekie family, I am pleased to write a tribute in honour of Mr. Peter Ani Nwomeh, on the inauguration of The Peter Nwomeh Foundation (PNF).
When Ben and I arrived for class at the Science Auditorium on the Akoka Campus on a bright October morning in 1980, I knew there was something special about him.
From what I read about the late Mr. Peter Nwomeh, and the heights his children have attained in their individual professions, there is no doubt that he was a brilliant and intelligent man.
It must have been late 1968 or early 1969. I was too young and small to know dates and times.
