ReplyDeleteI guess many people just got it wrong in different ways, first, the business belongs to the family she and her husband got an oil bloc, which was allocated to the family during the reign of IBB, she gave birth to 4boys and no single girl, they had a JV with chevron and NNPC on 40:40:20 sharing formula....,they are really doing fine and they have made impact in lives of several families both home and abroad....
ReplyDeleteMoney made through inheritance, name and family connections. No big deal about that...let us just she's fortunate
ReplyDeletelet's face it... any fool can be the richest man with an oil well given on a platter of gold. What business acumen do you require to be rich if you are fortunate to be given one? I congratulate her for her fortune, but she's not a business mongul.
