One of the players in the Nigerian oil and gas industry, Mr Akeem Adelaja, on Sunday, April 12, 2020, clocked 40.
Mr Adelaja is the owner of G&G Oil and Gas located in Lagos. The energy entrepreneur started as an attendant at a gas station in Mushin. He worked hard to make a name for himself.
Today, he is one of the major forces to reckon with in the sector and his story from grass to grace has become an inspiration to the young ones, who look up to him.
Mr Adelaja grew up from Mushin and from a tender age, he was exposed to the struggles of life. However, these challenges did not deter him from aiming higher and today, he is happy for the risks he took to make it in life.
The oil expert started learning the rudiments of business, most especially in the oil and gas sector and as time went on, he was able to develop solid interest in the business and worked assiduously towards achieving his set goals and objectives.
After going through the necessary educational attainment needed to forge ahead in his life’s pursuits, Mr Adelaja ventured into the lucrative but challenging and hotly contesting oil and gas industry and pronto, the Almighty God was with him and he gradually built for himself, an inspirational image in that sector. Today, Mr Adelaja, a devout Muslim who never joked with all the rules and regulations guiding the Islamic religion, is a vast investor in the Nigerian oil and gas industry.
