In 2014, against all odds, he successfully led Oando PLC to the landmark US$1.7 billion acquisition of ConocoPhillips Nigeria's business operations. A first for a Nigerian indigenous company, transforming Oando Energy Resources into the country's largest indigenous oil and gas producer with seven producing oil with an average production of 48 thousand barrels (7.6 thousand cubic metres) per day of oil equivalent, 2P reserves of 420 million bbl (67 million m) of oil equivalent and several other blocks in various developmental or exploration stages. This time, there was no “Eaglet” talk as Wale had already become the colossus in the industry.

In 2000, Ocean and Oil acquired Unipetrol during the Federal Government of Nigeria's privatisation exercise and just two years later, Wale led the largest ever acquisition of a quoted Nigerian company, with the purchase of Agip by Unipetrol. The group was re-branded Oando PLC and has grown to become the leading Oil and Gas retailer in Nigeria, ensuring one in five cars on Nigerian roads drive on its fuel.

Adewale Tinubu began his career with his family law firm, K. O. Tinubu and Co, where he specialised in corporate and petroleum law. In 1994, Adewale Tinubu co-founded Ocean and Oil Limited, an oil company located in Nigeria.

Adewale Tinubu had his primary education in Lagos state and later obtained the West Africa School Certificate in 1983 from the Federal Government College of Odogbolu. He studied law at the University of Liverpool, England and obtained a Masters in Law from London School of Economics. He returned to Nigeria (aged 22) to attend Nigerian Law School per the prerequisites for practicing lawyers in Nigeria.

Jubril Adewale Tinubu (born June 26, 1967) is the Group Chief Executive of Oando PLC, one of sub-Saharan Africa’s foremost indigenous integrated energy groups. He began his career in 1992 as an attorney, specialising in corporate and petroleum law assignments. In 1994, Wale co-founded Ocean & Oil Group and guided its strategic development from an oil trading and shipping company to the fully diversified and integrated Oil & Gas Company it is today.

Wale had a close friend, Omamofe Boyo, who as a lawyer at FRA Williams Chambers- one of Nigeria's most senior law firms, represented an oil service firm, which owned a weather-beaten 1945 World War II tanker called The Carolina. Excited and realising that The Carolina could fulfil Unipetrol's requirements; Wale immediately contacted Mofe and informed him of the opportunity.
