How The Journey Started:
“This is where it gets interesting.
When the wife started Northwest Petroleum on a small scale 27 years ago, the husband supported her with capital financing.
He was a finance professional at that time, while his wife was a chartered accountant who had just resigned from an oil and gas company with the intent to start her own.
With a startup capital of only N200,000, to which the husband chipped in something, Northwest Petroleum started a business and was born.
The company carried out diesel supplies in 200-liter drums to homes.
She started out supplying diesel to her church & homes in her neighborhood.
Her clientele grew to include hotels & factories.
The Business Expanded and She Became a Bulk Buyer, Leasing Petrol Stations and Distributing Other Refined Petroleum Products,
Two and a half decades later, the company now handles international oil trading and services deals worth millions of dollars and has multiple investments in midstream and upstream sectors of the Nigerian oil and gas industry.
Northwest is now a business that does millions of dollars in revenue.
The husband, who was running a mortgage bank, United Mortgage Bank, wanted to apply for a banking license.
The wife invested in what is now known as Providus Bank, of which her husband is the pioneer CEO.
