By Trek Africa Newspaper
Who does not know Dr. Benard Omoyeni?
The billionaire entrepreneur, and renowned environmental scientist and author who continues to influence Nigeria’s international trade relations, through Palmadex Group, a non oil export company, and currently one of Africa’s most impactful businessmen.
As Dr. Benard Adedotun Omoyeni clocks 54 on July 1, 2025, his legacy extends far beyond export and environmental science.
Over the years, he has transformed into a national philanthropist, engaging several corporate social responsibilities, and distributing his immense wealth to tackle society’s pressing challenges.
As GODSPOWERPROJECT joins the world to celebrate him today, Deji Obasa takes a closer look at the success and leadership traits that make him such a powerful personality.
The Birth of An Entrepreneur
Imagine a young active primary school graduate, leaving his hometown in Ondo state to pick up a factory job at the weaving section of the Nigerian Textile Mills in Lagos, and later a stint as a factory hand in the Kaolin Milling Section at Kavitex Industries.
That was Bernard Omoyeni in 1990, a farm boy who weathered economic storms and developed an ‘I Must Succeed In Life’ mentality, which helped him proceed to the Federal University of Technology in Akure to bag a Bachelor of Technology degree in Fisheries and Wildlife in April 1997. And later obtained a Master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Maiduguri in 2001.
Followed by a 2004 Master of Science degree in Environmental Management from the Federal University of Agriculture in Abeokuta. Also a Master of Science degree in Geographic Information System from the University of Ibadan in 2005.
A City Set On A Hill, And Light Of The World
As soon as Dr. Benard observed the mandatory NYSC scheme at the Federal College of Freshwater Fisheries Technology, Baga, between 1998/99, and was retained by same institution to serve in various capacities; as Lecturer, Head of Departments and Acting Provost, all between 1999 and 2005.
His major turning point was in 2005, when he got a job with a major multinational.
Ever since then, he became more compassionate about people’s concern; funding scholarships, supporting business owners, engaging Kingdom investments
In 2015, he founded Palmadex Global Integrated Services, now Palmadex Group, a multi-award non oil export company
Together with his younger brother, Dr. Patrick Omoyeni, Dr. Bernard spotted a world-changing opportunity.
In an era when oil was the major export, reserved for corporations and government agencies, Dr. Bernard made a daring move: to make export accessible to everyone trading non oil commodities.
What began as a passion to empower Nigerians soon transformed into a global powerhouse.
Under Dr. Bernard’s leadership, Palmadex has grown multiple portfolios, that revolutionized the export industry and made international trade acceptable to the masses.
Palmadex Group was not just a business; it was the realization of a Divine vision to affect the world through trade.
In the words of Dr. Patrick Omoyeni, his younger brother and the Operations Manager at Palmadex Group,
“Dr. Benard Omoyeni always keeps his eyes on excellence. He instils integrity, probity and hardwork in all his staff, younger Siblings and everyone who looks up to him. He is a cheerful giver with a heart of gold. An exemplary leader and philanthropy per excellence. He is a God lover to the core, a highly dedicated God’s kingdom steward. Here’s wishing MD/CEO, Palmadex Group, Nigeria, Dubai, Chicago, United Kingdom, Australia and other trade offices managed by my boss, brother, mentor, role model and pastor, the very best on his birthday today and indeed always. The Lord grant him renewal of strength, all round rest, breakthroughs, greater exploits and global impacts in Jesus name. Amen. Big Congratulations, Sir.”
Still basking in the wine of true love, Uzoma Omoyeni (Uzofine), Dr. Bernard’s wife of over 20 years also took this opportunity to return all glory to GOD
“I return all glory to this awesome GOD, for the birth and gift of this sweet soul, my Gee forever, my Olowori, my one and only, my choosen love, my loving lover, my pastor, my Lord and personal savior after Jesus Christ, the one that made me know how good it feels to be a woman, brought out the sweetest part of me, true son of Bishop (David) Oyedepo, my sweet love Pastor Dr. Benard Adedotun Omo- Omoyeni.
