It is yet another honour for oil and gas tycoon and boss of Oando plc., Jubril Adewale Tinubu, as he received another award as the GCEO of the Year, 2024.

The award ceremony held last Friday at the Energy Times Magazine’s Awards, at the Oriental.

It was indeed double honours for the quintessential oil mogul, as Oando was also awarded as the Emerging Major Oil company of the Year.

It has been a great journey for the business guru and his firm having received three awards this year alone for unprecedented contributions to the nation’s oil and gas sector.

It would be recalled that in February, Oando won Energy Deal of the Year, 2024 at the Nigeria international Energy summit, NIES, 2025. This was in recognition of its transformative $783 million acquisition of the Nigerian Agip Oil Company from the Italian energy firm Eni.

Tinubu was also recognized during the annual awards ceremony organized by Daily Telegraph Publishing Company Limited, publishers of New Telegraph newspapers, in February as the Investor of the year.

As gathered, other awardees at the second edition of Energy Times award include Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu; Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji; Former Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited, Engr. Mele Kolo Kyari; NMDPR’s Chief Executive, Engr.
