Those who realize the import of the Biblical saying in Proverbs 22: 29 that “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” will surely understand why businessman and Group Chief Executive of Oando, Wale Tinubu, has been the darling of many leaders and top executives across the globe.
Apart from his business acumen, he is one of the most brilliant in the sector. Therefore, his association with those who matter around the world should not be a surprise.
We gathered his brilliance, especially in business and economics, is the main reason he has been on the entourage of President Muhammadu Buhari’s foreign trips on many occasions.
Those in the know disclosed that Tinubu, also a lawyer, is cerebral, the reason he is said to be one of the key members of the President’s economic team.
To further affirm his belief and loyalty, the brilliant lawyer was among the first set of people that congratulated the President on his re-election, not only that shortly after Buhari received his Certificate of Returns from the INEC the OANDO boss paid him a visit at the Presidential Villa to commemorate with him.
He also posted their photograph on Twitter and Instagram page as he wrote:
‘’Congratulations PMB! Looking forward to 4 more years of the Common Sense Revolution- fighting corruption, improving security and recharging the economy’’
The Lagos State born billionaire started business very early in her life. Over the years, he has sown in sweats; so, it is not surprising that he is now reaping in bountiful harvests.
He has served as a business advisor and consultant to many other businessmen and governments in and outside Nigeria.
By virtue of his rare accomplishments, he is one of the few Nigerian businessmen who can rub shoulders with other top businessmen around the globe
