The ARCO Group has congratulated U.S.-based Nigerian professional Dr Henrietta Ukwu on her inclusion in Marquis Who’s Who, one of the U.S. oldest and most respected biographical directory publishers.
Marquis Who’s Who, which has documented notable individuals for more than a century, announced Dr. Ukwu’s listing on Jan. 9.
The directory has historically featured leaders across business, public service, and culture, including former U.S. Presidents, Warren Buffett, and Oprah Winfrey.
In a statement signed by the Group Managing Director of ARCO Group PLC, Alfred Okoigun, the company described the recognition as both timely and well deserved.
“ARCO Group PLC warmly congratulates Dr. Henrietta N. Ukwu, MD, FACP, FRAPS, on her distinguished recognition by Marquis Who’s Who for her outstanding expertise in Global Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance.
“This honour is not only a personal milestone, but a testament to decades of intellectual rigour, ethical leadership, and professional excellence in one of the world’s most demanding and consequential fields.
“For ARCO, this recognition holds particular significance.
“Twenty-five years ago, in April 2001, ARCO Group organised the Nigerian Excellence in Science & Technology (NEST) Awards at the Dorchester Hotel in London — a formal initiative established to recognise outstanding Nigerians whose work had attained global standards of excellence in science and technology.
“At that ceremony, three individuals were honoured, among them Dr. Henrietta N. Ukwu, whose selection reflected the same qualities that continue to define her career today: integrity, clarity of purpose, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.”
Okoigun also said long before international accolades followed, Ukwu’s professional impact and promise were already clearly evident.
He said that in a world where regulatory science and quality assurance underpin the safety, credibility, and trustworthiness of global systems,Ukwu’s influence has been both profound and enduring.
“ She has helped shape institutions, mentor professionals, and strengthen frameworks that protect lives and enable sustainable development across borders.
“We celebrate Dr. Ukwu not only for this well-earned recognition, but for the legacy of leadership, trust, and excellence she continues to build.” (NAN)
