Michael Adeniyi Agbolade Ishola Adenuga Jr, (popularly known as Mike Adenuga), is a Nigerian business tycoon, and the second-richest person in Nigeria. His company Globacom is Nigeria's second-largest telecom operator, and also operates a GSM telecoms network in Ghana and Republic of Benin. Forbes estimated his net worth at $5.8 billion as of 2017, which makes him the second-wealthiest Nigerian behind Aliko Dangote, as well as the third-richest person in Africa with a net worth of $14.1 billion. In 2003, Globacom was the first telco to launch Per Second Billing (PSB) which caught on like wildfire. Nigerians rushed to the network in droves, and other networks were forced to follow suit. Since then, Globacom has, through its various subsidiaries, pioneered several innovative services in Nigeria such as Mobile Internet, Blackberry subscription and Vehicle Tracking services. In 2010, Globacom launched Glo-1, an undersea submarine fibre cable which cost over US$650 million (about N90 billion). In 2015, Mike Adenuga made a bid to buy Ivorian mobile telecoms operator Comium Cote d'Ivoire, for $600 million USD. Comium CI has more than 900,000 mobile subscribers according to L’Autorite de Regulation des Telecommunications. Adenuga also established Equitorial Trust Bank and Devcom Merchant Bank in the 80s. Both were merged to become a fully fledged bank and finally sold to Sterling Bank Plc, a few years back. Adenuga owns an oil firm Conoil (formerly Consolidated Oil Company). The company is a leading downstream oil firm which markets refined petroleum products, while it also manufactures and markets lubricants. It sells Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for domestic and industrial use in Nigeria. Conoil Plc retails petrol, diesel, kerosene, gas, and other petroleum products through approximately 300 outlets and stations. It markets coolant products to commercial, industrial, and retail customers. Its' range of lubricants are the Quatro, Okada Golden Super, and Golden Super brands. His exploration outfit, Conoil Producing, operates 6 oil blocks in the Niger Delta. He also owns real estate firm Proline Investments, which has hundreds of properties throughout Nigeria. His company, Consolidated Oil was the first indigenous company to strike crude in December 1991. Adenuga studied in the United States, and obtained a bachelor's degree from NorthWest University and a Masters degree in Business Administration (MBA) at Pace University in New York. Those who know him well, say he detests the following words: "no, can’t, won’t" and "impossible." Fondly called The Guru or 'Chairman' by his disciples, Adenuga is said to be very shy, a fact which is unknown to many. Adenuga resides in a magnificent building inside Banana Island, in Ikoyi, Lagos. He also owns another home called The Gold Digger’s Place in Iyaganku GRA, Ibadan, where he spends most weekends. He has other apartments around the world like the one in York Terrace, Regent Park and St. Johnswood, both in London. He is also alleged to be one of the largest owners of prime properties on Victoria Island. He has a couple of private planes, which are run under the name Southern Airlines, as a private chartered jet operation. In its fleet is a $27 million (N3.2bn) brand new, customised aircraft built by Canadian aircraft maker, Bombadier Aerospace. The Challenger 604 aircraft was flown into Nigeria by an all-white crew, and delivered to Southern Airlines owned by Adenuga in 2005. In 2010, Globacom sponsored the African Handball tournament in Benin Republic as well as the biggest cultural festival (FITHEB) held in the Benin Republic. Globacom has also sponsored the annual Confederation of African Football (CAF) Awards since 2005, and also a proud sponsor of the annual Glo Lagos International Half Marathon.. Globacom, was recently honoured as the best provider of 4G LTE services in Lagos by the National Independent Wireless Broadband Quality Report (NIWBQR). Meanwhile, Mike Adenuga's daughter Mrs Belinda Ajoke Adenuga-Disu, has been appointed into the Board of Directors of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, as a non-executive director. Industry watchers say that this appointment to the board, proves that billionaire investor and owner of Globacom, Mike Adenuga is now the single largest majority shareholder in Julius Berger Nigeria Plc. Another director of Globacom, Gladys Olubuse Talabi was also appointed as a Non-Executive Director of Julius Berger, with appointments effective from June 2017. 3 Likes |

My role as Head of School is to oversee student affairs in both the pastoral and academic departments of the school. Traditionally, the academic programme includes the curriculum, teaching and learning and performance in examinations, whilst the pastoral work of the school focuses on student welfare, extra-curricular activities and life in the boarding hostels. My view is that there is no real distinction between pastoral and academic life and that in a boarding school like Olashore, the two systems work closely together to support the overall development and welfare of each student. 3 Likes |

Bolaji Balogun btw why so many balogun in the business of Money ne of the greatest misconceptions that people have about Africa, still, is that it is too risky. What they need to realize is that risk is easily translated into opportunity,” says Bolaji Balogun, CEO of Chapel Hill Denham. Balogun set up Chapel Hill, a financial services advisory firm based in Lagos, in 2005 but with keen ambitions to develop his business into a full-service investment bank, Chapel Hill merged with Denham Management in 2008, with Balogun at the helm. He has firmly established the business as one of Nigeria’s most trusted and well-connected advisers. “The integration process when we first merged with Denham was interesting to begin with,” he explains. “We had tripled our number of employees and our client base had become a lot more diversified: Whereas we were used to serving institutional clients, we now had to increasingly serve retail clients as well.” After quickly overcoming these initial difficulties, Chapel Hill Denham has become the backbone of Nigerian investment banking, with leading positions in M&A, debt and equity capital markets. Any risks that were initially felt soon dissipated. Throughout his career, Balogun has proved to be a self-starter and keen business-person, stepping away from the family business and carving out his own career. By contrast, his brother Ladi has remained at First City Monument Bank (FCMB), the bank that has been owned by the Balogun family since the 1980s. In 2001, he left FCMB to try his hand as an entrepreneur before later setting up his own investment banking advisory firm. “At the time, the family business was transitioning from a traditional merchant bank into a universal commercial bank – something I wasn’t really interested in anyway, so it was a good time to try my hand at something else,” says Balogun. One highlight for Balogun and Chapel Hill Denham was the advisory work the investment bank did during the banking crisis that hit Nigeria in 2008. Alongside Deutsche, Balogun and his team were brought in to advise Nigeria’s central bank on the rescue and recapitalization of the failing banks. Chapel Hill Denham led the work stream leading to the formation and funding of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (Amcon). “In effect we saved depositors from losing N4.5 trillion [$27.7 billion] in savings – a fate that people elsewhere were not able to avoid,” he says. “We worked well with the central bank and others to ensure that the taxpayer didn’t bear the burden of the downfall. This was a massive achievement for us, pivotal to cementing faith into the banking sector in Nigeria and supporting it.” And as part of the banking recapitalization process, in 2011 Amcon issued zero-coupon bonds for three years with a face value of N5.6 trillion – the first time zero-coupon bonds were issued in Nigeria. “Before the bonds were due to mature in December 2013, there were concerns that Amcon could default, but we successfully lead managed a landmark N3.8 trillion refinancing deal for it,” says Balogun.

Today, he is the Group Managing Director of Fatgbems Group of Companies, which was set up by his late father, Alhaji Fatai Olalekan Gbemisola. Fatgbems Group of Companies, has different subsidiaries such as Fatgbems Petroleum, Fatgbems Tyres, Fatgbems Gas, Dhastor International Ltd, Fatgbems Foundation, and Samdop Oil. [img]http://4.bp..com/-YtyTKxEg1xQ/UMZys3VG9YI/AAAAAAAAAfQ/GigAg42syn4/s320/DSC_0910.JPG[/img] After his father passed away, the burden of running the family business fell on Kabir Jibola Gbemisola's shoulders. He was already running another successful oil and gas company, owned by his family known as Spirsal Oil & Gas, but he had to leave that organisation, to take over his father's legacy. At the time he moved to Fatgbems, the company was struggling to stay afloat, as many of its clients had moved away from the firm, due to the death of the founder. Kabir worked hard to rebuild the business and make it profitable, once again. Before his father died in 2012, the company which started business from a humble beginning in 1986, with just one fuel station at Ejigbo, Lagos, grew into a tank farm and several stations across Lagos and other states. The burden then fell on Kabir, to sustain the legacy of corporate growth. He rebranded Fatgbems Petroleum, and invested its funds into the establishment of a modern-structured station, which meets diverse and multiple needs of its customers in a one-stop portfolio. More of such mega stations, are being planned by the Group.

Little wonder why Cornerstone Insurance Plc. was adjudged as the ‘Best Use of IT in Insurance Service’ 2012, by the Financial Technology Magazine. Our services are technology driven by cutting edge Insurance applications. These services are accessible with ease through the internet and/or mobile technology. still in our hearts. As I write this medium for you 15 years after you departed from mother Earth, it dawned on me that the incident that took you away from us happened just around this exact moment 15 years ago; That terrible night on the 5th of November, 2000. The night of Saturday, 5th of November 2000 will forever remain a night we will always remember, at least for those of us whose dreams were born because we saw yours come true right before our eyes. Uncle Tunji as we always called you. Death might have taken you but your works are here with us. Many reading this may not know you and would be wondering who you really were. Tunji Ogunkanmi founded Cornerstone Insurance at the age of 30 in 1991 and became the companies first CEO and the youngest CEO in the insurance industry as at that time. Dreams truly come true, and Tunji clearly proved that. Without a silver spoon, Tunji dreamt big and the dreams came true. Fought for his dreams and proved that a boy born and raised in Ile Ogbo, Osun whose first and real experience of Lagos was when he gained admission into UNILAG to study Insurance can actually make it big here without cutting corners. Founding an insurance company at age of 30 at the time when the country was being ruled by the military with its economy in the mud might look like a dream far-fetched for many but surely not for you… You started the journey against all odds and by 2007 took company to the Nigerian Stock Exchange. You are a star, one life suddenly taken from our skies but cannot be erased from our hearts. A great candle that life’s winds decided to put out but still lights many paths even in death. Until your death, you had kids of family and friends on your payroll, sending everyone to school. A bread winner to many. An helper to those who didn’t even know your story. Many wouldn’t even have seen the gate of a university if not for your helping hands. You gave to friends, family and strangers. You touched everyone. Growing up, Your story inspired everyone of us to fight our ways out of poverty. To not only dream big but to also do big, that dreams truly come true if we work at it. A cousin so old and fatherly everyone called you Uncle. My mum would always say “If Tunji could make it, you guys will”. But on that terrible night, the hazards of the reality called Nigeria took you from us. On your way back from a friend’s birthday party, an armed robbery incident on Falomo bridge, Ikoyi took you away from us, along with Deepak Mehta, the then Indian-Canadian managing director of Equitorial Trust Bank. Nigeria eats its stars, and sadly nothing has changed. Just last year, we lost Kunle Olaifa to our terrible roads. (Takes me to Ayosogunro’s ‘Everything in Nigeria is out to kill you’. Nothing has changed. Our country still today consume its own young dreamers and great men. We all die.
