Babs Omotowa: The Secondary School Teacher Who Became CEO Of NLNG
Babs Omotowa
The Kogi State-born Omotowa is the son of a farmer who grew up in a place with limited exposure, finished from the university and got a job as a teacher in a public secondary school, teaching there for two years while still staying with parents , before moving to Lagos, walking around, looking for where vacancies were pasted on gates, submitting over a hundred applications, being discouraged by friends that he cannot get a good job without connections (so this pervasive defeatist mindset has been around for that long. God help those who still spread this today). Then landing a job in the most sought after company in Nigeria – Shell.
And just 18 years later, becoming the CEO of the multi-billion dollar company – NLNG. And after that, returning to Shell, at the global Headquarters in The Hague (Netherlands), as Global Upstream Vice President responsible for Shell upstream business in over 45 countries and sitting on Shell Global Leadership Team.
This was the son of a farmer, a public school teacher whose salary cannot even afford to rent a house in Ilorin (not to talk of Lagos), and was walking the streets of Lagos in search of vacancy post just 25 years earlier.
