marketers in the downstream sector and today<br />

and ran by Nigerians, and it is a testament to what<br />
young entrepreneurs can achieve with hard work<br />
and a “can do” spirit. Jubril Adewale Tinubu is truly<br />
an inspiration for every young Nigerian with a<br />

We wish him the very best and thank him for<br />
having the courage of conviction to step out on<br />
nothing but faith and build the largest indigenous<br />
oil company in Nigeria.<br />
