Tonye Cole is a Nigerian billionaire and CEO of Sahara Energy.
He was born in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria to Patrick Dele Cole.
Tonye attended Corona School, Victoria Island and later King’s College, Lagos before proceeding to King’s School, Ely, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom.
He is also an alumnus of the University of Lagos and Universidade de Brasilia, Brazil.
The vibrant businessman manages Sahara Energy Resource Limited which he co-founded in 1996 with his friends Tope Shonubi and Ade Odunsi.
Sahara Energy started out as an oil and gas company whose core business at the time was the trading of excess fuel oil from the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries.
With a combination of hard-work and dogged determination not to be a middleman in the transactions, Sahara Energy established itself as a credible trading house within three years of conception, with a respectable trading line from a first class international bank, BNP Paribas.
