This orthopaedic and trauma surgeon turned Oil and Gas business mogul is the chairman and co-founder of SEPLAT, one of Nigeria’s largest petroleum development companies.
SEPLAT made history as Nigeria’s first indigenous oil and gas company to list on the London Stock Exchange. SEPLAT’s dual-listing on both the Nigerian and London exchanges valued it at $1.91 billion.
