Dr. Amb. Benedict Abudu Ibhadon, Managing Director and CEO of PWAN Champion, has shared his inspiring life story through a new autobiography titled “Against All Odds… The Man Least Expected to Rise.”

Born in a small village in Edo State, Dr. Ibhadon lost his father at a young age and was raised by his maternal grandparents. Despite growing up in poverty and facing difficult circumstances, he refused to give up. While many around him sought escape through risky migration, he chose to stay and build a better future.

His journey took him abroad and eventually back to Nigeria, where he started as a real estate consultant with the PWAN Group. Through hard work and determination, he rose to become the top sales performer in the company.

Today, he leads PWAN Champion, a fast-growing real estate firm with projects in Nigeria and Ghana. One of his biggest projects, the Champions Signature Towers at Eko Atlantic City, is already attracting attention as a bold and valuable development.

Now 35, Dr. Ibhadon is using his story to encourage others. His new book shares the challenges he faced and the lessons he learned along the way. It is already being praised for its honesty and motivational message.

“I want young people to know that their background doesn’t have to hold them back,” he said. “If I can rise from nothing, so can they.”

Dr. Ibhadon’s story is a reminder that with vision, faith, and hard work, success is possible—even against all odds.
