Chief Eric Aso Kalu

Born a Prince in Ukwuakwu Village, Umuiwe Autonomous Community, Ututu, Arochukwu Local Government Area of Abia State, Chief Eric Aso Kalu received his primary and secondary education in Ututu. He then earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Administration from the University of Port-Harcourt. Driven by the entrepreneurial spirit of Ututu and a desire for independence and job creation, he ventured into business with limited initial capital. His business acumen led him to specialize in freight-forwarding. To enhance his professional expertise, he pursued specialized courses and seminars in maritime operations. This dedication to professional development culminated in the establishment of PFD Maritime Services Ltd and Kalas Global Resources Ltd, companies engaged in freight-forwarding, transportation, and general import/export.

PFD Maritime Services Ltd, headquartered at 4, Rumuokoro Street, Rumuomasi, Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, with branches in Lagos and Calabar, has a staff of thirty (30) professionals and has provided quality and efficient services for nearly a decade. PFD has become a prominent name in the maritime industry under Chief Kalu’s leadership.

In recognition of his contributions to community development and his philanthropic endeavors, he has received several honors, including the title of “OMEREOHA I” of Umuiwe Autonomous Community, bestowed upon him by H.R.H Eze Daniel Kalu Okore of Umuiwe Autonomous Community.

Political Aspirations

Many believe that Chief Kalu’s developmental focus and widespread popularity position him as a strong candidate for the Abia State House of Assembly. This sentiment is amplified by the fact that, since the creation of Arochukwu Local Government Area in 1976, Ututu has had limited representation in that office compared to other clans (excluding the short-lived house of 1983). The people, especially the youth, are eager for Chief Eric Aso Kalu to represent them.
