President Bola Tinubu has extended warm felicitations to Jubril Adewale Tinubu, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Oando Group, as he marks his birthday on Thursday, June 26, 2025.
In a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu described Wale Tinubu as a visionary business leader and patriot whose accomplishments continue to reflect positively on Nigeria’s energy sector and national development.
Reflecting on the Oando boss’ exemplary entrepreneurial journey and contributions to Nigeria’s economic growth, Tinubu affirmed that his work with Oando Plc and its subsidiaries showcase a deep commitment to innovation, sustainability and empowerment.
Wale Tinubu, a lawyer and globally-respected energy executive, co-founded Ocean & Oil Group in 1993, transforming it from a trading outfit into Oando – a quoted company that is currently Sub-Saharan Africa’s foremost integrated indigenous energy group.
Tinubu also acknowledged the role of Mr. Tinubu in the clean energy transition through the establishment of Oando Clean Energy Limited.
The company is partnering the Lagos State Government to introduce electric mass transit buses as an innovative move toward achieving sustainable urban transport and Nigeria’s climate goals.
Beyond the energy sector, the President highlights Wale Tinubu’s philanthropic work through the Oando Foundation, which has positively impacted over 500,000 Nigerian children through school adoption, digital learning, and teacher training.
“On this occasion of his birthday, I congratulate my brother Wale Tinubu for his exemplary life and the hard work that has made him one of the significant contributors to our country’s economic growth and development.
“I wish him good health, greater accomplishment, and more useful services to Nigeria and humanity,” the statement read.
