Driven by a passion to raise ethical leaders and reformers, Obii is the founder of Nehemiah Company, her core commission to Nigeria and the Nehemiah Apostolic Resource Centre (NARC) in Abuja, the operational hub of her apostolic work. Through these platforms, she equips and deploys emerging leaders as agents of change across diverse sectors of society.

As a multidisciplinary strategist with over 33 years of experience across diverse industries, Apostle Obii has earned widespread trust and recognition as a leadership development expert.

In 2018, following two years of developing a vision centered on values-based leadership in Africa, she formally launched the School of Government and Politics (SOGP) in Abuja, Nigeria, a pioneering institution dedicated to raising ethical, values-driven leaders committed to addressing Africa’s leadership challenges.

The institute has trained over 300 emerging leaders through its thematic programs and hosts influential platforms such as the Statesman Series and Citizens Conversation Series. Its Citizens Bureau serves as an advocacy and rights protection arm, established to educate citizens on their civic rights. SOGP has also partnered with Wagner University to further its mission.

Apostle Obii’s apostolic oversight extends to multiple transformational initiatives, including the Rebuilding Lives Project, Kingdom Kids, and Wealthy Place. Through these expressions, she advances societal reformation, leadership excellence, and community impact.

As CEO of Obii Pax-Harry Inc., she provides executive coaching and marketplace training for entrepreneurs, business leaders, and high-level executives.
