Hurray! It’s the 8th Anniversary of the highly respected frontline Maritime Company, MICURA SERVICES LTD, this February and who is better to reflect on its journey than the amiable CEO/MD, Chief Michael Orobosa Ubogu, who recently took time out of his busy schedule to share a few words with City People’s TITI OSHUNLALU.
High Chief Michael Orobosa Ubogu, who runs MICURA SERVICES LTD in Nigeria, was all smiles recently because his brainchild despite all odd is 8 years this February. Precisely on the 7th of February, 2020. The amiable CEO who counts globally-acclaimed Dangote brand as his former Employer had left to forge his own path and he hints he counts his blessings at this stage of his entrepreneurship. The son of Teachers from Delta State, Nigeria, who comes from a humble background, is also renowned for his philanthropy and support for grassroots Football and he maintains a hardworking culture from his background has helped in shaping him into who he is today. A Graduate of Personnel Management and Industrial Relations of the Prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University, Chief Michael keeps a low profile, yet top service delivery of his esteemed company does the talking for him. MICURA SERVICES LTD with its headquarters in Apapa, Lagos is a top player in the Nigerian Maritime sector and at its 8th Anniversary, is already a juggernaut. Excerpts.

What prompted you to become an Entrepreneur?
I worked for a few persons and it was in my time at Dangote that I reflected and asked myself if hard work and a place in education are the same. I concluded they weren’t, hence, went back to school to get my Degree, rose to management level in the company before resigning to start Micura Services Ltd and the rest is history.
What advice can you give others hoping to start their companies?
I will say when you set your goals, believe in them, pursue them logically and the sky is the limit.
