Olurotimi Otedola, the lesser-known brother of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, has made headlines after selling his shares in Geregu Power Plc, earning a massive profit of N3.2 billion.

A recent filing with the Nigerian Stock Exchange, signed by Company Secretary Akinleye Olagbende, revealed that Olurotimi sold approximately four million shares at N1,150 per share on February 6, 2025.

Having originally purchased the shares for N789.8 million two years ago, his investment skyrocketed to N4.6 billion, marking a significant gain.

Additionally, post-tax profit surged by 71%, reaching N27.4 billion, further cementing its position as a strong player in the power sector.

Though often overshadowed by his famous relatives, including his billionaire brother Femi and niece, DJ Cuppy, Olurotimi has made a name for himself in both business and music.
