Currently he serves as a Program Executive at Tetracore Energy Group and a Director at Munitel Limited, Oladayo oversees capital-intensive projects exceeding $50 million.

His portfolio features end-to-end advisory on onshore and offshore gas gathering systems, multi-million-dollar EPC contracts and long-term Gas Supply and Transportation Agreements that have unlocked reliable fuel for both on-grid and off-grid power projects.

He leverages these platforms to advocate gas as a transition fuel and champion sector-wide standardisation.
