Without a doubt, Group Chief Executive, Oando Group, Jubril Adewale Tinubu is a delight to listen to. Also, to say that he has an intimidating profile is to put it mildly.
A delight to watch when in the boardroom or engaged in anything concerning business, Tinubu usually leaves his watchers and admirers enthralled by his articulation and aplomb. He is graceful in his fine grasp of business intricacies, with a very strong sense of deep erudition in discussions, especially in the area of economic development in Nigeria.
Of course, the foregoing may not be news to many. But what many may not know about this technocrat is that beyond his feats in the oil sector, he is endowed with oratorical power.
