Akin Akinfemiwa’s Golden Age … as Otedola Serenades Geregu Power CEO at 50

Fast friends are made under the canopy of shared interests. This is a straightforward principle that corporate giants like Femi Otedola have relied on to build a circle of reliable confidantes. Thus, it is not altogether surprising that Otedola readily overextended himself in celebrating the 50th birthday of the CEO of Geregu Power Company, Akin Akinfemiwa.

The 50th birthday of Akinfemiwa took place in London on Tuesday, June 27. With Otedola at the thick of things, the celebrations stirred the hearts of Nigerians home and abroad, illustrating the grateful disposition of the Geregu founder toward the company CEO. Moreover, Otedola was not stingy with his praises and straightforwardly celebrated Akinfemiwa for having saved his business time and again.

According to him, Akinfemiwa helped revitalise his businesses many times in the past. Starting from as far back as 2005, it seems Destiny had it in mind to pair the duo.

From the explanations of Otedola, Akinfemiwa took a leap of faith by joining him as the CEO of his London office. That was a tough time for the billionaire as he was dealing with issues regarding leadership and management. However, Akinfemiwa’s performance turned things around for good, necessitating a much-deserved promotion.

That was how Akinfemiwa came to become the CEO of Otedola’s Zenon Oil and later the CEO of Otedola’s African Petroleum. Then Forte Oil, and finally, Geregu Power Plc. All through, Akinfemiwa clearly demonstrated a steadfast and reliable disposition, letting him earn the approval of Otedola.

Now, at 50, Otedola did not require any reminder to trumpet the accomplishments of Akinfemiwa.
