Okebadan Oil & Gas Hits 18 As Arisekola Celebrates Resilience, Growth, Service


Eighteen years after starting from a modest office in Maitama with a Picanto as its operational vehicle, Okebadan Oil and Gas has grown into a respected force in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.

The company, founded on August 1, 2008, marked its 18th anniversary with a reflection on its journey from humble beginnings to becoming a major player in the petroleum products business.

Sharing the milestone on his Facebook page, Mogaji Wole Arisekola described the journey as one shaped by vision, determination, hard work, integrity and the grace of God.

According to him, Okebadan Oil and Gas was registered in 2008 as a trading company in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.

At the time, its operation was conducted from a small office in Maitama, Abuja, with a Picanto serving as the company’s operational car.

Those early years, Arisekola noted, were marked by challenges, sacrifices and lessons that ultimately prepared the company for bigger opportunities.

A major turning point came in 2013 when the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, entrusted Okebadan Oil and Gas with the responsibility of lifting and distributing petroleum products from its refineries across the country.

That opportunity, Arisekola said, transformed the company’s fortunes and opened a new chapter of growth, expansion and excellence.

From its modest beginning, Okebadan Oil and Gas has since evolved into what its founder described as a respected name and a force to be reckoned with in the industry.

For Arisekola, the company’s growth represents more than commercial success. It is also a story of resilience, professionalism and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Reflecting on the milestone, he expressed appreciation to the company’s customers, staff, business partners and other stakeholders whose support, he said, had remained critical to its success.

He acknowledged their loyalty and trust, describing them as the foundation upon which the company had built its 18-year journey.

Arisekola also looked beyond the anniversary, stressing that the milestone should not be regarded as the conclusion of the company’s story.

Rather, he said, it represents the beginning of an even more ambitious chapter, with Okebadan Oil and Gas poised to raise industry standards, embrace innovation and deliver better services.

He further reaffirmed the company’s commitment to contributing meaningfully to Nigeria’s economic development through its operations in the oil and gas sector.

For the business executive and prominent Ibadan personality, however, no account of the journey would be complete without acknowledging the role of Almighty God.

He attributed the company’s survival, growth and achievements over the past 18 years to divine grace, while expressing gratitude to everyone who had supported the vision.

As Okebadan Oil and Gas celebrates 18 years, its story stands as a striking account of how a modest beginning can evolve into a formidable enterprise through perseverance, strategic opportunities and consistency.

From a small Maitama office and a single Picanto in 2008 to a recognised name in Nigeria’s petroleum products business, the company’s journey reflects the possibilities that can emerge from determination and long-term vision.

Arisekola, who is also the publisher of Street Journal, President of the Association of Online Media Practitioners of Nigeria (AMPON), and Mogaji Ajenigieye, Oje, Ibadan, said the journey was far from over as he celebrated the milestone.

With renewed commitment to innovation, service and excellence, he declared that “the best is yet to come.”

Mogaji Wole Arisekola and the management of Okebadan Oil and Gas used the anniversary to celebrate the past, appreciate the present and look confidently towards a bigger future.
