The success derived from team work is outstanding. Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress and working together is success. This motto has been dedicatedly employed into birthing and building Sahara Energy, an oil firm. Twenty decades since Tope Sonubi, Tonye Cole and Ade Odunsi set up Sahara Energy, they have pooled their nerves and capital to establish what has become a formidable business and stakeholder in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector. Indeed, these men, with inspiring persevering spirit, have causes to celebrate. Looking back 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 has presence in different locations, including Africa, the Caribbean, Asia and Europe. Twenty years since they embarked on their business exploits, the three friends and entrepreneurs have recorded stunning achievements in their fields of endeavour; and it is for this reason that they are planning a big celebration to mark the 20th anniversary. 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.
