Breaking: Femi Otedola Leaves Forte Oil As Chairman by Samludas07(m): 4:14pm On Jun 19, 2019 |
...Now Chairman of Geregu Power Plc Months after news first emerged that billionaire Femi Otedola was divesting his 75percent direct and indirect shareholding in Forte Oil’s downstream business with the transaction expected to close in the first quarter of 2019 subject to the satisfaction of various conditions and receipt of applicable regulatory approval, The Capital can reveal authoritatively that the deal has now been finalized. Otedola has effectively ceased to be involved with the company. The new owner is Abdulwasiu Sowami, the businessman behind Prudent Energy and Services Ltd. Sowami, who lives in Ogba, Lagos, was virtually unknown in Nigeria until his name propped up as the new proprietor of Forte Oil. Indeed, it is the end of an era for Otedola and Forte Oil, the company that has become synonymous with his mammoth wealth. Originally founded in 1964 as British Petroleum before becoming known as African Petroleum, Otedola was appointed its chairman and chief executive in 2007 after the acquisition of a controlling stake in the business by his petroleum products marketing and distribution company, Zenon Petroleum. In 2010, the company rebranded to Forte Oil with a focus on technology and improved corporate governance. Over the years, Forte Oil established presence in the 36 states of Nigeria and Abuja, operating a network of 500 retail outlets spread across the country and in Ghana, with major fuel storage installations at both Apapa (Lagos State) and Onne (Rivers State), an aviation joint users hydrant in Lagos, and joint aviation depots in Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano, serving the aviation industry. The company markets premium motor spirit (PMS), automotive motor oil (Diesel), dual purpose kero (DPK), fuel oils and Jet A-1 fuel amongst others. It also manufactures and distributes a range of lubricants, some of which include Super V, Visco 2000 etc. at its lubricating oil blending plant at Apapa, Lagos. It also provides well production chemicals and drilling fluids to Nigeria’s petroleum upstream operators through its upstream services subsidiary, Forte Upstream Services. With Forte Oil, the successful businessman achieved a different level of prosperity so much that by 2015, he was listed as the 16th richest man in Africa by Forbes. But the adventurous billionaire seems bored with the oil business as he has now set his sight on conquering the power sector. In 2013, Forte Oil purchased a controlling stake in the 414 MW Geregu Power Plant under a government-led privatisation programme in the power industry. A major overhaul of the plant commenced in 2015 and was completed in 2016, increasing the combined capacity to 435MW. Otedola is now set to take his Mojo and Midas Touch to the power sector and if the cosmos align with his plans, become king as he did in the oil and gas industry. http://ludassocial.com/2019/06/breaking-femi-otedola-leaves-forte-oil-as-chairman/ 15 Likes

I think Femi is already seeing what many of us are not seeing. It's only greedy entrepreneurs that holds on to a business when the parameters show they should step aside. Remember Dangote also sold Dangote flours to Olam 105 Likes 6 Shares |

funny enough Mike adenuga of glo never run away from business. he invest on basic 3 things Nigerians are using, which are ICT, oil and banking. and still adenuga is the second richest in Africa. soon in some years to come adenuga will take over from dangote. adenuga understand the business in Nigeria. hardly will you see him doing politics with his business. one need to learn fast from him. if people don't know, his son too have his company on his own running it by himself. till 50 years to come, people will still be using ICT to grow their economy and adenuga is number investor in that sector. 51 Likes 4 Shares |

iammo1:they will be tired of that soon cos' alot of foreign investors are already on that now. ICT is the gold mine I'm seeing. in 30 years to come, ICT will still exist. femi otedola quit cos' he has seen the future already, if you don't mind, alot of people are investing heavily on oil now, even fg is investing more than private investors. even politicians are into oil business, so the sector is over crowded already. in 10 years to this time, ICT will be the huge gold mine in business sector. 17 Likes 1 Share |

Kiaaa Yorubas and Hausas will make up the list of 20 richest people in Nigeria, no Igbo will smell it. Guess why? ... The gap between the rich and poor in Igboland is almost nonexistent. In some other tribes there are very few super rich peeps, then the rest are poor, baggers, touts and slaves. Meanwhile amongst the Igbos, everyone is averagely rich, they all strive for the top, no one wants to depend on the other. Hence the Igbos might collectively be the richest tribe, but individually, they won't smell top 20. Man City scored the highest number of goals in the premier League, but top 3 highest goal scorers, no single Man City player. To me that's how a reasonable economy work. Instead of one Alhaji owing a massive estate with 700 buildings, in Ontisha you will see 700 4-storey buildings own by 700 different people. The goal should be lifting of your brother, not enslaving them. 86 Likes 4 Shares |
