Festus Samuel Okotie-Eboh is unarguably the most flamboyant Nigerian politician of all time. As Federal Minister of Labour and Welfare and Finance Minister during the Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa administration, he was very rich, influential, and powerful. He even maintained a personal relationship with the 35th President of America, John F. Kennedy.
As Federal Minister of Finance, Okotie-Eboh founded the Central Bank of Nigeria in 1958 and was also instrumental in bringing Julius Berger to Nigeria in the quest to build the Eko Bridge. During the visit of Queen Elizabeth II to Nigeria in 1956, Okotie-Eboh was an epitome of stylish fashion and a cynosure of all eyes. #HistoryVille #OkotieEboh
