Oando Group CEO Wale Tinubu, Covers Forbes Africa

 
The 44year old MD and CEO of Oando Plc is the second man to grace the cover of Forbes Africa which was only launched last month.

His bio which I found online: 
Tinubu has a Bachelor's of Law Degree from the University of Liverpool, England and received his LLM from the London School of Economics where he specialised in International Finance and Shipping. He is also a member of the Nigerian Bar Association.
He is the Chairman of Gaslink Nigeria Ltd and Tilca Nigeria and also serves on the Board of Stallion Properties, Oando Plc - Sierra Leone, Togo, and Ghana, West African Refinery Company (WARCO) Sierra Leone, Ocean and Oil Services, and Econet Wireless Nigeria. He is also a member of the Institute of Directors.
Is he related to former Lagos state Governor, Bola Tinubu? Find out in the comment section...:-)

  2. Correct guy.

    You are too funny Linda about his links to Asiwaju.

    They are related. Aren't all or most of the Tinubu's related? Some people will say no, because Asiwaju is not really BAT!

  4. He is Oando Group CEO & not Chairman - Yes, he is related to Bola Tinubu. Bola Tinubu is his Uncle. His late father Kafaru Tinubu was the founder of K.O Tinubu & Co which was the law firm where Fashola worked and was Head of Chambers before he became Tinubu's Chief of Staff.

  5. Yes Bola Tinubu is his Uncle. Not only that..I understand he is a frotman for Bola Tinubu and most of the capital to start oando came from Bola Tinubu. Should this man really be on Forbes cover...I mean...can Bola Tinubu openly declare his wealth and the SOURCE of his wealth. Hmmmm...let me not say any more..

  7. Thats my boss!!! Really inspirational, brilliant & down to earth man. It would really be unfair if his success is attributed to BAT, Wale Tinubu has got to be one of the most determined and hardworking bosses in Nigeria.

  8. Tinubu is not a common name as per Madam Tinubu. As far back as 7 years ago, most Nigerians knew Wale and Asiwaju are related.

  9. @Akin, are you not Akin, a popular Lagos lawyer from ? I 'bet' you are... Thanks for sucking 'em the info.

  10. Bola Tinubu has no origin in the Tinubu family. He has a passport from the 80s under a different name. Who is his father/mother? Alhaja Mogaji is only his "area mother" and he is NOT her biological son. The true story of how an Ila-Orangun man from Osun State became governor of Lagos State, and commander of Yoruba govs will be known one day.
