By Abisola THOMPSON
A revelation was on Wednesday (today) made by Lagos-based business mogul and billionaire, Femi Otedola that Forte Oil has been sold.
Otedola said on his verified Instagram handle, that he has moved on from being a player in the petroleum industry to focusing on his power generation business.
According to him, “A few years ago, my team and I embarked on an arduous task of transforming a moribund petroleum marketing business, African Petroleum Plc (formerly British Petroleum) into Forte Oil Plc; a leading integrated solutions provider with solid footprints in downstream petroleum marketing, Upstream Services and Power Generation and one in which we built intrinsic value to the benefits of our shareholders.
“In line with my principle of business focus, we have divested from our marketing and upstream businesses and shall from now on focus and consolidate on the gains of our power generation business, Geregu Power Plc.
“We wish our successors the very best and urge them to build on our legacies which have been established since 1964.”
