Oche G12: All you need to know about the philanthropist

Mr Joseph Oche Godwin is an imperial voice in our generation. Philanthropy has given his life meaning, purpose and joy. Though he started up nondescript with a childhood nested with scars of little beginning.
We have G12 Foundation Club today because Mr Oche Godwin willed it into existence since 2016.

Since 2006 till date, Mr Oche had been at the corridor of the National Assembly, though not as a Lawmaker but as one of the technocrats that have aided smooth legislative business at the Upper Chamber.

He has served several Lawmakers as Personal Assistant after being among some of the most luminous brilliant and hardworking people for about a decade.

His journey as one of the most experienced and influential legislative aide in the upper Chamber of the National Assembly started in 2006 when he worked as a member of the Media and Information Committee.

In 2011, Mr Oche was appointed as a Personal Assistant to the Senate Leader, Distinguish Sen Victor Ndoma Egba OFR, CON, SAN on Projects Monitoring/Supervision. He spent over twelve meritorious years working with Senator Ndoma-Egba in different capacities.

Throughout his period with the senator, his service was adjudged to be excellent.

He equally served as Special Assistant to Senator Foster Ogola on Media and Information in 2015.

This kind hearted man also served Senator Dino Melaye as Special Assistant, Projects Monitoring/Supervision from 2017 to 2019.

Mr. Joseph Oche is currently the Special Assistant to distinguish Sen. Benjamin Chukwuemeka Uwajumegwu on Projects Monitoring/Supervision.

Oche fondly called G12 hails from Ifete – Ugboju. Growing up bears eloquent testimony of lack of infrastructural facilities such as road network, electricity, potable drinking water in the area. And this has largely informed his quest to change the status of his people in a manner that will not only be helpful to the entire village but Ugboju community as a whole.

In an interview with some media men recently in Otukpo, the soft spoken Oche disclosed that it was his intention to change the status of his people in a favourable manner.

According to him, “when I was growing up, we lacked so many things in my community. That is why I started with construction of roads to Ifete. I am also giving them electricity. I procured a brand new transformer each for Ogobia and Ogoli Ugboju respectively. I also put some students on scholarship to ameliorate their suffering”.

His sound academic preparations as an astute administrator galvanized his leadership and oratory prowess. It is written on his voice but captures the combined wisdom of decades of navigating public social sector and academic preparations.

To more effectively navigate the increasing complex impact convening landscape ,Mr. Oche has criss-cross several continents of the world in service to humanity and in the fostering of his conglomerates as the CEO of several companies such as, Kainyaka integrated Nigeria limited, Oche bless integrated global Nigeria limited, dynamic sunrise castle.

A native of Ifete-Ugboju, in Otukpo LGA of Benue State. He has completed the electrification of his community, among other electrical intervention measures.

His philanthropic gesture through the instrumentality of the G12 Foundation Club is the reason why electricity is been restored today to parts of Ogobia-Ugboju and Ogoli-Ugboju after several months of wallowing in darkness.

Mr. Oche believes that our deepest passions often spring from our deepest wounds. That if we can centre around our own purpose in the society where we are found, why we are there becomes the foundational linkage with those in the society, then we can more readily share ideas, resources and best practices, readily forge more effective partnerships and collaborations toward impact.

Mr. Joseph Oche a passionate Barcelona FC fan is married to his lovely wife, with the union blessed with two children.
