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 one of the leading privately owned power, energy, gas and infrastructure conglomerates 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. Twenty years since they embarked on their business exploits, the three friends and entrepreneurs have recorded stunning achievements in their fields of endeavour; it is for this reason that they are having a big celebration very soon to mark the 20th anniversary. In the mafia-esque oil and gas industry, with its unwritten and understated Omerta, the three wisemen have done pretty well. Because of their meteoric rise on the ladder of billions, many say they are the kind of guys that you give a rope and they automatically want to become cowboys. They are obscenely wealthy!
