In the competitive sphere of the oil and gas sector, one name that has become a recurring decimal is the debonair and very industrious Otunba Funsho Lawal, the chairman of Sogenal Oil &Gas OON, CON.
The oil and gas top player has been in the industry for so long, and he knows the sector like the back of his hands. His vast knowledge of oil and gas has earned him the position of the President of Petroleum Club and, at the moment, is on the board of trustees of the petroleum club.
Without recourse to exaggeration, if anyone undertakes to compile the list of top corporate players in Nigeria, such a person 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.
In his over four decades in the industry, mercurial Lawal has traversed the length and breadth of the industry, leaving his mark of excellence with his sterling leadership qualities. Apart from oil and gas, which is a leading light, the former chairman of the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, has invested heavily in other sectors of the economy.
So, for the man that has been described as a shining light in the nation’s business firmament, Sunday, July 11, was simply very eventful. The day came with so many beautiful memories that could occupy a mention in his diary.
The day dawned and ended with a lot of treasured activities that would for a long time serve as memorabilia for the Maaye of Ogbomosho. On that day, the oil magnate celebrated his birthday amidst an outpouring of good wishes, congratulatory messages, and prayers from friends, family members, and business associates around the globe.
The birthday was marked with more thanksgiving and prayers than fanfare, as top eminent personalities shared his joy on the occasion.
