How Billionaire Businessman Earned ‘Outstanding Integrity in Oil and Gas Business’ Few names stir as much reverence and admiration in the sprawling Delta of Nigerian commerce as Sholaye Jeremi. Esteemed for his entrepreneurial savvy, humility and wealth, Jeremi’s influence transcends his immense success in oil and gas. The billionaire magnate’s dedication to ethical business practices and his commitment to philanthropy have earned him a Delta Role Model Award in 2024—a testament to the impact of his life, marked by integrity, diligence, and unwavering empathy for humanity.
Jeremi remains one of the rare breed of visionaries who deploys his wealth to impact the lives of the underprivileged through humanistic service. Nominated by the Role Model Board of Trustees, his recognition as a Delta Role Model for Outstanding Integrity in Oil and Gas and Youth Role Model status affirms the power of leading by example, even amidst immense success. Jeremi’s journey, however, is no tale of overnight fortune.
In a rare show of ambition and grit, he rose from humble beginnings to conquer the world of oil and gas—a feat achieved by unyielding discipline, courage, and a relentless commitment to ethical entrepreneurship. This path of hard work stands in stark contrast to the rapid, often superficial trajectories of fame and wealth in today’s fast-paced society. For Jeremi, it has been a long, steady climb marked by diligence, honesty, self-reflection and discipline.
The billiona.
