The success of The Delborough has sparked interest in franchising from countries worldwide, further demonstrating its international impact.
Dr. Uzochukwu’s acts of service are central to his legacy. Through Stanel Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, he annually supports over 2,000 widows, orphans, and physically challenged individuals across Nigeria. His charity work includes building homes, distributing SUVs, providing scholarships, and hosting capacity-building programs. These efforts uplift the less privileged and empower them with skills and resources to thrive.

Through his Access More with Stanel initiative, in collaboration with Access Bank, over 3,000 young entrepreneurs receive mentorship and financial support each year, promoting youth entrepreneurship across Nigeria. His strategic alliance with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has also enabled the recruitment and training of Nigerian graduates.
