By Our Reporter
One businessman with untainted and unblemished reputation in the business sector of Nigeria is Mr. Victor Gbolade Osibodu, the Chairman/CEO of Vigeo Group.
He is a graduate of Pharmacy from the then University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) and also an alumnus of the Lagos Business School and the Harvard Business School. He also intermittently attends IHRDC’s Oil and Gas Management programs in Boston Massachusetts, USA. He is a regular participant at Energy related Seminars and Conferences both locally and internationally.
Prior to the birth of Vigeo Limited, his career spanned through the Nigerian Navy, the Boots Company Limited and Bodnat International.
In pursuit of his dream of becoming an entrepreneur, he established Vigeo Limited, a multiservice organisation which later transformed to the Vigeo Group.
Due to the quantum leap in growth of Vigeo Limited as a result of the emerging and increasing opportunities in its operating environment, there was need to consolidate its value chain propositions; hence Vigeo Group.
He is currently the Chairman of the Vigeo Group, the parent company to the five arms of the business; Vigeo Capital, Vigeo Oil & Gas, Vigeo Shipping, Power and Marketing & Distribution.
He also serves on the Boards of other companies including, SO&U, UTC, GT Assurance, Phillips Consulting Limited and Terra Kulture. He is also the Chairman of Special Olympics, Nigeria – a global organization serving athletes with intellectual disabilities.
Mr. Osibodu was a recipient of the Member of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (MFR) award, one of the highest civilian National Honours awarded by the former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo. He has also received numerous awards in recognition of his contributions to not-for-profit organisations and also to the development of the Nigerian business economy.
