Our story
12 Brass Street weaves a narrative deeply rooted in the legacy of Chief The Hon. Justice (ret’d) Cosmas Azubuko Chidiebele Ikeotuonye. Our journey unfolds against the tapestry of determination, education, and civic duty, as we honor the remarkable life of our founder’s grandfather.
Rooted in Tradition: Born on October 4, 1921, in Ndimgbu, Otolo, Nnewi, Chief Ikeotuonye's life epitomized a commitment to service and excellence. The Igbo calendar marked the significance of his birth, setting the stage for a legacy steeped in tradition.
Educational Odyssey and Artistic Flourish: From St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Otolo, Nnewi, to the prestigious Hope Waddell Training Institute in Calabar, Chief Ikeotuonye's journey was marked by academic prowess and artistic talents. This rich tapestry of education and creativity laid the foundation for our platform's dedication to fostering scale for artists and galleries.
Legal Pursuits and Civic Impact: Chief Ikeotuonye's pursuit of law in the UK, culminating in his call to the English (Upper) Bar in 1958, became a pivotal chapter. His influence extended to politics, serving as the Secretary of the Aba Branch of the Zikist movement and the Secretary of the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroun (NCNC). These experiences shaped his commitment to civic duty.
