Yes, one of the three wisemen in Sahara Energy Group, Ade Odunsi’s heart is full of song. Mellifluous notes flit through his belly like dapper-winged butterflies.
The fireflies dance in his eyes like winged fluorescents of the dale. Happiness and sweet delight sparkle in his eyes like glazed orbs of the eastern muse. Ade is 50!
Interestingly, the seasons pass but Ade remains grand, like the nurturant guardian whose tenderness and warmth blesses the land. In 50 years, he has blossomed into a man of affluence and integrity. Fifty years may be a tiny fraction of time, yet the Ade looms large across generations into eternity.
The story of his exquisite manhood resonates with a pleasant peal. To his staff, family, friends, beneficiaries and other loved ones, his smiles have been their anchor, his shoulders their rampart of comfort.
Though plans to celebrate the milestone are not public yet, we hear that friends and family members, business associates and peers are planning to celebrate with the jolly good fellow on his day. Champagnes would be popped and glasses clinked in honour of a young man who has made good on all fronts.
However, industry is dew-pearled, the future looms on wondrous straits and fortune flits in auspicious circles around the world of the three wise men whose daring dreams and exploits birthed Sahara Energy, an oil firm.
Twenty decades since they pooled their nerves and capital to establish what has become a formidable business and stakeholder in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector, Sonubi, Cole and Odunsi have cause to rejoice.
Looking back indeed, helps put things in perspective; for instance, it helped the three friends and partners appreciate their abiding luck. It also helped them understand how worse things could have been, since they started Sahara Energy two decades ago.
As you read, the founding team of the oil energy firm are in a joyous mood. They are excited about how far they have gone.
When they started out in 1996, it wasn’t an easy journey at all but today, Sahara Energy is a leading privately owned power, energy, gas and infrastructure conglomerate with active subsidiaries in the downstream, midstream, upstream, infrastructure and power sectors. Sahara Energy, today, has presence in different locations including Africa, the Caribbean, Asia and Europe.
Following its success in the oil and gas sectors, the group made remarkable forays into the infrastructure sector. It set out a roadmap for investing in people, processes, strategic acquisitions, principal investments and continuous expansion within the West African and global energy and infrastructure space.
