Industry Titan Recognized for Youth Empowerment
Oilden Energies MD Oluwatoni Oladiran has publicly commended Engr. Wole Ogunsanya, Executive Chairman of Geoplex Nigeria Limited and PETAN Chairman, for his transformative mentorship of young entrepreneurs in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
Why Ogunsanya Stands Out
Startup Champion: Provides critical guidance and resources to energy startups in their formative stages.
PETAN Reformer: Revitalized the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria to maximize local content value.
Economic Catalyst: Mobilizes indigenous firms to support FG’s diversification agenda, creating sustainable jobs.
Key Impact Areas:
Strengthening Nigerian-owned oil service companies
Bridging knowledge gaps for young energy entrepreneurs
Advocating for local content development
Industry Testimonial
“Engr. Ogunsanya provides the compass for both young and established players to tap into sector opportunities.”

PETAN’s Achievements Under Ogunsanya
Capacity Building: Enhanced technical skills for 500+ local professionals since 2023.
Strategic Partnerships: Fostered collaborations between multinationals and indigenous firms.
Value Chain Optimization: Increased Nigerian participation in upstream operations by 40%.
