“I travel a lot because I want the best for my clients. I want something different from what people know or sell out there. I just want Dee Utensils to be unique and outstanding. To the glory of God, we are dominating the market,” she stated.

Prior to the official opening, the showroom was committed to God in a dedication led by Pastor Mrs. Becky Enenche of the Dunamis International Gospel Centre, adding a spiritual dimension to the launch.

Today, the brand operates multiple branches in Abuja, serving celebrities, chefs, and homeowners with premium offerings. She also oversees Dee Scent Global, expanding her influence in luxury lifestyle products.
Her accolades are impressive.

She was also honored with the Award of Excellence in Affordable Luxury Kitchen Solutions in London. In December 2025, the Emir of Jiwa, His Royal Highness Alh. Dr. Idris Musa, conferred on her the traditional title of Trauraruwan Matan Kasar Jiwa (the Shining Star of Jiwa Land) in recognition of her humanitarian efforts, community impact, and contributions to the economy.
Renowned for her philanthropy, Dr. Ihwo has significantly impacted women and communities across Nigeria, embodying resilience, innovation, and grace. The new showroom marks another milestone in her journey, promising to elevate kitchen experiences for Nigerians with affordable luxury.
