Hon. Enahoro Eta, who hails from Oyede in Isoko north local government area of Delta State, is a consummate businessman, industrialist, administrator, philanthropist, politician and socialite. Hon Eta has first and master degrees in public administration from the famous University of Benin. He has also attended several high–brow national and international seminars and conferences in the US, UK, Malaysia, Italy among others. For several years now, for instance, he has constantly attended, annually, almost all the major international oil and gas conferences in different parts of the world. He was elected into the Delta State House of Assembly in his early 30s. Since then, his socio-economic and political profile has been rising steadily.
Even when he told everyone that he was temporarily stepping aside from active politics after he had contested for the Isoko Federal House of Representatives slot in 2011 to squarely face his business, top politicians would not leave him alone. This is because of the general acknowledgement of his far-reaching political value as a great mobilizer of human and financial resources. His political sagacity earned him some top political appointments at the federal level. For instance, he was the Chairman of the Governing Board of the Nigerian Institute for Oil Palm Research, (NIFOR) in 2005. He held that position till 2007. Earlier on, he was a member of the Board of Directors of the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, NPDC from 2001 to 2004. In both positions he performed marvellously well, thereby opening doors for other achievement-driven endeavours in his life.
Because he has a very keen sense of running business, he incorporated an oil and gas outfit, Skyward Resources Limited as far back as 1995. Skyward Resources Limited is a key player in the service sector of the huge Nigeria oil and gas industry. Like the mustard seed, talked about in the bible, it has grown into a big oak tree, providing shelter and succour for many human beings and institutions. The company now has many subsidiaries. It is no wonder, therefore, that Hon. Eta has also now become the group Managing Director of Skyward Resources Limited group of companies.
He is currently the chairman of Gistcom Limited, the parent company of FRONTPAGEIT.COM an international electronic broadcasting company based in Dublin, Republic of Ireland.
