Founded in 2014, Uprise City is a corporate organisation committed to the empowerment and upliftment of individuals and businesses. Rooted in a strong foundation of personal development, leadership and strategic thinking, Uprise City exists to transform human potential into impactful, purpose-driven success.
The vision was birthed by our founder, Rev. Bs'I Molokwu, a resolute and passionate strategic leader with a longstanding commitment to developing human capital. Prior to establishing the organisation, he had been actively involved in nurturing individuals through leadership roles in church and youth-based groups — experiences that significantly shaped Uprise City's vision and mission.
The initial idea for Uprise City emerged from a shared vision between Bs'I and his first assistant, Chinedu Okwuosa (popularly known as "Prince"). In its formative stages, the organisation engaged other key collaborators — including Somtochukwu Okafor and Chino Winner — who together explored various entrepreneurial pursuits. One such venture, "Sharp View Enterprise," served as a precursor to Uprise City but was discontinued due to financial and experiential limitations, leading to the birth of Uprise City as a more focused and visionary endeavour.
Uprise City was officially launched in June 2014 with the successful hosting of the First Onitsha City Economic Summit, coordinated by a dedicated seven-person planning team assembled by Bs'I. The organisation's first Team Building session followed on 3 March 2015, facilitated by Coach Kunle Joe Komolafe (USA) — a personal coach and mentor to Bs'I.
Since then, Uprise City has continued to host high-impact conferences and events that promote personal growth, professional development and societal transformation — including the Economic Summits, the Young Entrepreneurs Conference, the Eruption Conference, and the Global Wealth Conference.
Beyond events, Uprise City has demonstrated its dedication to community development by sponsoring individuals and initiatives aligned with its mission. In celebration of its fourth anniversary, the organisation recognised four outstanding individuals for their visionary contributions to Onitsha and its environs — spanning political analysis, the Christian music industry, child-safety advocacy and education.
To equip, engage and empower human resources for innovation, entrepreneurship and management — for self-productiveness and the preservation of Earth's resources.
