Anambra-born media entrepreneur and lawyer, Barrister Chukwudi Iwuchukwu, has announced the launch of Ifeyinwa Transport and Logistics Limited, a new transportation business named in honour of his late mother, Ifeyinwa.
Iwuchukwu disclosed the development in a personal announcement on Facebook, explaining that the company was established to preserve his mother’s memory and fulfil her dream of seeing him build a transport business.
According to the entrepreneur, the venture was initially conceived as Visage Transport and Logistics, with plans to commence operations in December 2025. The company had reportedly been registered under its original name, while preliminary discussions had begun with automobile manufacturers and prospective business partners in China and Dubai regarding the acquisition of vehicles and other operational requirements.
However, the plans were suspended after his mother became seriously ill. Iwuchukwu said the family redirected its attention towards her care and recovery before she died on October 12, 2025.
He recalled that his late mother remained enthusiastic about the proposed business even during her illness and treatment at Grandville Hospital in Lagos. According to him, she discussed the venture with his wife, Uche, and shared her excitement about the plans with friends.
Iwuchukwu said his wife played a central role in caring for his mother throughout the illness. Following the bereavement, he proposed renaming the transport company after her as a lasting tribute to her memory and encouragement.
He said his wife supported the decision despite the grief surrounding the loss, leading to the incorporation of the company under its new name after the burial.
The entrepreneur explained that Ifeyinwa Transport and Logistics Limited was established to provide Nigerians with reliable, comfortable and affordable interstate transportation and logistics services.
He identified trust, comfort and value for money as the principles that would guide the company, adding that the business aims to serve travellers across different age groups.
Iwuchukwu also expressed confidence that his understanding of younger Nigerians, including Generation Z, would help the company develop a distinctive identity in the competitive transportation industry.
The businessman, who said he was called to the Nigerian Bar 13 years ago, reflected on his entrepreneurial journey, noting that he had concentrated on building businesses rather than pursuing conventional legal practice.
He expressed gratitude to people who supported him from his early days as a Facebook blogger after law school, describing their encouragement as instrumental to his progress.
He acknowledged the financial and emotional demands of establishing a transport company, revealing that he had sometimes questioned whether investing substantial resources in the venture was preferable to placing the funds in money market or mutual fund investments.
Nevertheless, he said the prospect of creating jobs, contributing to economic activity and building a sustainable business had strengthened his determination to continue.
Iwuchukwu particularly appreciated his wife for her support and his friend, Paschal, for encouraging him during moments of uncertainty. He also attributed the venture’s progress to his faith in God, citing Psalm 44:3 as a reflection of his experience.
The entrepreneur disclosed that Ifeyinwa Transport would begin operations with two luxury buses and two HiAce buses, making an initial fleet of four vehicles.
He said the vehicles and other assets required to launch the business had been fully paid for and were being transported to Nigeria from Dubai and China.
The company is currently putting its operational arrangements in place, with the official commencement date and operating location expected to be announced through its Facebook page.
Iwuchukwu urged members of the public to follow Ifeyinwa Transport Limited on Facebook for further information ahead of the start of services.
The launch marks a new chapter in the entrepreneur’s business journey, while the company’s name carries a personal significance rooted in family, remembrance and a dream he says his late mother was eager to see fulfilled.
