July 24, (THEWILL) – Former Governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, has stepped down as the chairman of the Sun Newspaper, which he founded over 10 years ago. Taking over his position is none other than his first and favourite child, Neya, who has now assumed the position of Chairman/Publisher of one of the largest selling newspapers in the country. Kalu however remains the founder of the newspaper.
While appreciating the honour bestowed on her for the humongous task of piloting the affairs of the newspaper, at least for the next decade, Neya promised to lead the country to greater heights while relying on the solid foundation that has existed since its inception.
Educated at the University of Buckingham, England, with a degree in Law and Finance, Neya runs Base Coat, a chain of nail salons in Lagos. She is also the Vice-Chairman of Sun Heavens Hotels and Resorts.
Neya was previously engaged to Abia-born, Lagos businessman and politician, Chima Anyanso, a few years ago, but the wedding got called off as a result of unpalatable tales on the part of Chima. Both of them have since moved on and are married to their respective spouses. Neya has been married to businessman Lawrence Iyere since 2017.
