PROF. SIR ABUKUSE V.E.P. MBIRIKA

Prof. Sir Abukuse V.E.P.Mbirika, also popularly known as Sir Vincent, is the Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AFRICA UNIVERSAL ENTERPRISES INC. He is also the Sovereign Grandmaster of both, KNIGHTS OF AFRICA and KNIGHTS OF MALTA, Order of Reformed Hospitallers of Saint John of Jerusalem.

He has been awarded a Doctor of Science degree in Diplomacy and another Doctorate in Psychology from Rome and Spain respectively. Like his mentors, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Julius Nyerere and Tom Mboya, he has for the past 40 years, followed in their footsteps, by ridding Africa of colonialism, neo-colonialism, illiteracy, hunger and sickness. He has designed a master plan to put a new face on the continent of Africa.

Sir Vincent has traveled allover the world, negotiating business deals, especially in Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines and allover Africa. Whether he is helping negotiate a business arrangement between nations or individuals, or whether he is negotiating a delicate political solution, as he did with the former apartheid government of South Africa to release Nelson Mandela and get rid of apartheid, he prefers total confidentiality. That is partially, the secret behind his many achievements.

He has negotiated with giant corporations, notable world leaders including presidents of the United States on matters affecting Africa. He has been honored worldwide, including bestowal of special blessing to him by His Holiness, the late Pope John Paul the Second at the Vatican. He is a Knight Grand Cross of Justice in the Knights of Malta Organization of which he has been its Sovereign Grandmaster since 1994. He commutes frequently between the USA and Africa.
