Wale Tinubu
For so many reasons, the story of the Group Chief Executive of Oando Plc, Jubril Adewale Tinubu, would make a compelling read for anyone who desires to know the ABC of running a successful business, particularly oil and gas. Though he started out as a lawyer, Oando, under his leadership, has expanded to the delight of shareholders. But as Tinubu continues to make giant strides in his varied businesses, he never trivialises the need to impact humanity positively, especially as enjoined by his faith, Islam.
Perhaps, this explains why he is constantly in the quest to lift the needy individuals around him while also contributing to his societyâs development. In fact, he has chosen charity and act of kindness as his hobby. The trained lawyer believes it is far better and more gratifying to make a difference in the poorâs lives. He has been giving without looking back and blinking an eyelid and without making any noise about it.
