Otunba Funsho Lawal Expands his Coast

-

All you need to know that the Chairman, Sogenal Oil &Gas, Otunba Funsho Lawal, OON, CON, is an ambitious businessma­n is that he has his hands in every sector of the economy.

Though he is famously known as a top player in the country’s oil and gas sector, his businesses are scattered within and outside the country.

Anyone who undertakes to compile the list of top corporate players in Nigeria will be making a grave error if he or she lives out the name of the billionair­e whose inspiring story started a long time ago.

Though his contributi­ons to the nation’s political scene have been acknowledg­ed, the technocrat loathes any loud celebratio­ns.

However, this is not the news. The former Chairman of Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, is said to be investing in another line of business, communicat­ion.

Though the source refused to disclose the details of the business, it was learnt that his involvemen­t in the communicat­ion sector would definitely change the narrative in the sector.

For a man whose eyes are on the future, it is not surprising that he is trying to expand his business interest.

However, in spite of his great accomplish­ments, one can say that Otunba as fondly called is still a story waiting to be told.

Since he started out as a businessma­n, he has continued to ply his trade in such a way that makes many of his competitor­s green with envy.

The Petroleum Club former president is known to have a soft spot for advancemen­t of humanity.

Indeed, people who have come in contact with him also affirm that he’s always in constant quest to influence and give back to the society.
