The formal announcement came via an official letter dated today, signed by Hon. Emeka Aneke, Chief of Staff to the Senate Minority Whip.
“It is my pleasure to inform you that the Senate Minority Whip and Senator for Enugu West, Sen. Osita Ngwu, has approved your appointment as Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Legal Matters, effective October 2025,” the letter stated. It further emphasized the senator’s expectations: “It is the wish of the Distinguished Senator that you leverage your professional experience and integrity in the discharge of this important assignment.”
Dr. Nnagbo, a popular lawyer and political activist from Enugu State, brings a wealth of experience to the role. Born on December 23, 1981, in Umuewo, Isigwu Village, Agba Umana in Ezeagu South Local Government Area, he is the sixth of eight children in the family of Adinde Nnagbo. Rising from humble beginnings in an average Nigerian family, Dr. Nnagbo attributes his success to hard work, resilience, and divine grace, often describing himself as “divinely destined to be the star and political savior of his family and community.”
His academic journey began at Abakpa-Nike Primary School, where he earned his First School Leaving Certificate, followed by Community High School, Umumba Ndiagu, where he completed his Senior Secondary Certificate in 2000. Undeterred by challenges, he pursued a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) degree at Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) and obtained his Barrister-at-Law (B.L.) qualification from the Nigerian Law School, Abuja Campus, in 2008. This qualified him to practice as a Solicitor and Advocate of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
Since entering private practice in 2008, Dr. Nnagbo has built a formidable reputation, securing victories in property, corporate, and family law cases. His firm, Dr. Destiny Chukwudi Nnagbo Law Firm, employs seven lawyers and serves clients across Anambra State and beyond, including corporate institutions, unions, and individuals. In pursuit of further excellence, he became a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arts Management & Professionals in 2021 and received an Honorary Doctorate in Public Administration from Prowess University, USA, the same year.
Dr. Nnagbo’s professional affiliations include the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Anaocha Branch, where he has held several positions such as Young Lawyers Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, and Chairman of the Disciplinary/Human Rights Committee, as well as Secretary of the Bar Centre Building Project Committee. Under his leadership, the committee successfully completed the Barr. Charles Ononiwu Obegolu Bar Centre in Obeledu, Neni, Anambra State.
A dedicated political figure within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Nnagbo has contributed significantly to party activities. He served on the 2017 PDP National Convention Screening Sub-Committee, the 2019 PDP South East Presidential Campaign Council, and as Returning Officer for the 2018 PDP House of Assembly primaries in Enugu State — including those that produced former Speaker Hon. Edward Ubosi (Osege) in Enugu East and current Speaker Hon. Uche Ugwu in Udi North. He was also a PDP National Delegate in the recent Anambra Governorship Election and acted as Agba Umana Ward Collation Agent in the 2023 general elections, aiding the victories of Senator Ngwu and Enugu State Governor, Peter Ndubuisi Mbah.
On the personal front, Dr. Nnagbo is a devoted family man, married to Mrs. Chinyere Immaculate Nnagbo, with whom he has five children. He also serves as President/CEO of the Mmirioma Foundation. His interests include swimming, political discussions, extensive reading, traveling, and legal advocacy — passions that reflect his dynamic personality as an icon, goal-getter, and a gentleman full of God’s glory and resilience.
Senator Ngwu, through his Chief of Staff, expressed optimism about Dr. Nnagbo’s contributions:
“This appointment is a recognition of your dedication and competence. We look forward to your contributions to the work of the Senate Minority Whip’s Office.”
