The Management of IgoGlobal International, and other key players in the Nigerian economy have advised the citizens to settle down and harness the natural endowment in our land for job creation and national development.

This was said at the company’s awards ceremony for excellence performance in 2025 held in Lagos. Employees of the company were rewarded with cars and other items.

On the theme “Drive the Dream – Celebrating Growth and Rewarding Excellence”, the young CEO said, “Africa has what it takes to rule the world because the market is here.

Speaking further, the Founder and President of IgoGlobal International, Dr. Victor Legend Etukinyang said, “The company is an indigenous conglomerate that has business interests in wellness industry, real estate, education and few other things that we do. We started with a vision to providing a safe and natural alternative to Africans when it comes to their health management, because we discover that most of the things we use to stay healthy tends to have some side effects. So the focus for us was to go organic. We are a company that invested into research and development of organic products, wellness products, you can call it urban medicine. But what we did was bringing a scientific dimension to it by investing and engaging experts to research. Overwhelmingly, we discovered that we are blessed in Africa. Almost every plant you see has a medicinal potency, like our flagship product, Iroko African root, the key ingredient, major ingredient in that product, comes from a tree called Iroko. That tree is very potent when it comes to medicinal properties, and it’s so potent to a point that it can take care of many neurological problems, that is brain related”.

“Today, the product is in the market, giving users desired results. And with the speed our product is penetrating into the Nigerian market and beyond, we have created many jobs, reducing unemployment in the Nigerian system”.

According to Dr. Victor, our product is competing favourable because people are getting results. “And to ensure that it gets to users, we embrace networking method of marketing, distributing the product and making sure that both distributors and users benefit”.

In addition, AIG, Adeoke M. Fayoade, Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2, Command Headquarters, Onikan, Lagos, who received award of excellence congratulated the Founder, IgoGlobal, Dr. Victor Legend Etukinyang for his initiatives despite all odds. “ I want to congratulate him for telling Nigerians that without running or traveling outside the country, we can make impact, we can make the country better. I was asking, how did they get to do this using the Iroko tree that is seen as having very strange things inside and transforming it to medicinal use and even exporting this product outside Nigeria. 

He said, “This country is blessed with unlimited resources both human, natural and material. If we look inward, we can do many things. The population is an advantage and over 60% of our population is made up of youths between the age of 30 downwards. So we have a very agile, population that can turn the economy around. All we need is to look inward and see what we can do together. And that is what Dr. Victor had done, not only producing these products but also exporting it. Apart from that, he has been able to create employment opportunities for more than 25000 youths. And these employees earns income of about N10,000 to 1 million every week. Imagine that 25000 thousand people taken out of the labour market. You know the impact”. 

“By empowering more than 25000 Nigerians, he has been able to feed more than 500,000 people. I believe that if many of us look inward and look at what we can do, the market is there to patronise. Just think of something, package it very well and people would buy whatever you have invested in. A lot of foreigners are coming in, Chinese, Lebanese, they’re coming to establish factories”.
