Wale Tinubu’s Rare Privilege
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.
Society Watch gathered that his brilliance, especially in business and economy, 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 this, he was one of the major businessmen who were on the president’s last trip to New York for the United Nations General Assembly.
The Lagos State-born billionaire started business very early in life. Over the years, he has sown in sweats; so, it is not surprising that he is now reaping bountiful harvests.
He has served as a business adviser and consultant to many other businessmen and governments in and outside Nigeria.
By virtue of his rare accomplishments, he is one of few Nigerian businessmen who can rub shoulders with other top businessmen around the globe.
