He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” will surely understand why astute businessman and Group Chief Executive of Oando, Wale Tinubu, has been the darling of many leaders and top executives across the globe.

Those in the know disclosed that; Tinubu’s magical-wand and uncommon brilliancy he often displayed in his business dealings, cemented his spot as one of the pivotal members of the President’s team.
