Application only.Apply here: https://formless.ai/c/q1GB9jAzOWTrIn this episode of The Afropolitan Podcast, we sit down with Austin Avuru—Nigerian geologist, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Seplat Petroleum—to explore what it really takes to build institutions that last in Africa.From his early years at NNPC to co-founding one of Nigeria's most successful indigenous energy companies, Austin shares a rare long-term perspective on discipline, governance, succession, and the hidden cost of success. This is not a hype story. It is a builder's story.We discuss why most African businesses collapse after the founder exits, why managing success is harder than starting from nothing, and why building in Nigeria is difficult but absolutely possible.🔗 FOLLOW AFROPOLITANWebsite – https://www.afropolitan.ioInstagram – https://instagram.com/afropolitanTwitter – https://twitter.com/afropolitanBook Book SPONSORSVBan – Use code AFROPOLITAN → https://vban.comInverroche Gin → https://www.inverroche.comRisevest → https://click.risevest.com/gb0g/afropolitanConvo → https://convo.vipTIMESTAMPS
