Orji Uzor Kalu on Forbes Lists
Orji Uzor Kalu is the founder of Slok Holding, a West African
conglomerate with interests in shipping, banking, oil trading,
manufacturing and the media. He got his start in business at age 19
after being expelled from a Nigerian university for spearheading a
series of student riots. He borrowed $35 from his mother and started
trading commodities like palm oil, rice and sugar. He diversified into
furniture manufacturing and transportation and became a millionaire by
the time he was 20. He hit the big time in the early 80s when the
Nigerian military government awarded him lucrative contracts to import
and supply arms and ammunition to Nigeria's military and defense forces.
He was previously a governor of Abia state in Nigeria's southeast.
Forbes' estimate of his net worth has dropped since last year due to
weakness in the oil business and a drop in real estate prices.
