OIL MAGNATE, TUNDE AFOLABI’S HOMILY

Are you thinking of going into the oil and gas business? If yes, then, you need to read the story of Chief Tunde Afolabi.

Reading the compelling story of the chairman of Amni Petroleum will give you useful hints on the ABC of running a successful oil and gas business.

The man, who many regard as an encyclopedia in the sector, runs one of the most successful indigenous oil production companies.

In spite of the vagaries of the business, his company has remained afloat with a lot of success stories. His company was awarded the Okoro Field and Setu Field located in OML 112 in shallow water offshore Nigeria, as part of the Nigerian government’s indigenous licensing.

Interestingly, he still recognizes that only God is the unseen hand behind his success; and he submits absolutely to His will. His armour against failure is ceaseless prayers. This perhaps explains his seeming homily recently during a thanksgiving service at the Anglican Church, Victoria Garden City Estate, Lekki, Lagos.

During the event, he shared the testimony of how the Almighty God saved him from what could have claimed his life. He also recounted how God rescued him from the jaws of death in Cape Town, South Africa, when he lost consciousness and was rushed by his brother to a hospital, where he was revived.

While the thanksgiving service lasted, his guests were amazed at his humility and his total dependence on God in taking the most critical decisions of his life. He urged the audience to always have absolute trust in God.

Afolabi, a silent billionaire, has lifted a number of less privileged members of the society; his philanthropy beggars description. He is also known as an ardent supporter of churches within the Anglican denomination
