A Queen’s Counsel since 2003, Oditah practices at the English and Nigerian Bars in a broad range of areas.
Yakubu is also a former Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer of Federal Mortgage Bank from 2003 –2007.
Meanwhile, Jadesimi said LADOL has all it takes to contribute its quota to the development of the nation’s economy on a sustainable basis.
Speaking recently, Jadesimi said the advent of local content law in Nigeria has reversed the long lost hope of indigenous participation in the country’s energy sector, noting that the development is capable of generating numerous jobs for Nigerians.
She said, “Now that some of us have started investing, we need to work together. We need to strategise and make sure we’re focusing our investment on areas that are going to reap the biggest reward, both in terms of profitability and job creation for Nigerians.”
