Stella Oduah Ogiemwonyi Biography (Sea Petroleum and Gas)
Stella Oduah Ogiemwonyi has managed to keep her feet firmly on the ground. A blue-blood, Stella Oduah is the daughter of Igwe D. O. Oduah, Akili Ozizo of Ogbaru. Born on January 5, 1962 in Onitsha, Anambra State, knew exactly what she wanted from her early age. After her studies at St. Paul’s College, Lawrence Ville, Virginia in the United States in 1983, Oduah joined the Nigeria National Petroleum Company (NNPC).
Speaking in an interview three years ago, Oduah explained why she joined the government owned corporation. “I wanted to be in oil and gas, and I felt my first leg should be in a national company and NNPC happened to be the in-thing at that time. It was either NNPC or banking and I just didn’t go into banking. I wanted oil and gas and so I was lucky I passed the interviewed at NNPC and I went in,” she had responded. In 1992, she took a bold step which confounded many of her colleagues, when she floated Sea Petroleum and Gas with a N200, 000 bank facilities. Her reason: “I don’t think I left NNPC to set up SPG.
I left NNPC because I wanted to do something more challenging. I left NNPC because I wasn’t getting enough job satisfaction. That’s why I left. A beautiful woman with a fearless gut that could make so many men question their masculinity, today, Oduah’s SPG has become an octopus in the oil and gas sector

I think Mrs Stella Oduah Ogiewonyi is a fortunate woman in the Oil and Gas sector and with her height of knowledge and versatility she has been able to help more than 20,000 jobless individual get job and are well paid.The propaganda of she embezzling 3.2billion Naira for training Niger Delta Militants for Oil and Gas i would say for certain that is not true why?Because am one of the trainees in Intralog Engineering Ltd who has finished training on Oil and Gas Engineering Piping Department and i am a certified piping engineer.More to that we 109 trainees are not Militants we are non militants who has completed the phase 1 training on Piping engineering and with the Help of Stella_Oduah_Ogiewonyi we will be doing phase 2 of Piping engineering in Indian.I think the woman deserves great greetings because she has not only helped non militants and militants she has also helped individuals in different part of the state to get job in her company Sea Petroleum and Gas.
