For Alabo Samuel Diminas, his life journey continues to serve as a testament to purpose-driven leadership, enduring relationships, and a life lived in service to others. As Chief Executive Officer of Westpaq Group, a United States-based integrated energy and technology services firm providing engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning solutions, Diminas is a respected entrepreneur, community leader, and philanthropist. His life and work have been defined by service, leadership rooted in integrity and humility, and a belief in the power of people and community.
Over the years, he has distinguished himself through entrepreneurial pursuits and a passion for creating opportunities for others. Diminas has spent more than three decades navigating some of the world’s complex energy projects. From his early years at NNPC to leadership roles at BP and Chevron, and major ventures across Africa, Europe, and North America, he has built a career around solving difficult problems, managing risk, and making decisions where the stakes are high.
Today, as CEO of Westpaq Group, he oversees major energy developments. His journey extends beyond boardrooms and balance sheets. It is a story of resilience, leadership, continuous learning, and the ability to remain steady under pressure in an industry where certainty is often limited.
Known for his warm personality, strong family values, and dedication to building meaningful relationships, Diminas has earned the admiration of friends, colleagues, and members of his community both in the United States and Nigeria. Beyond business, he is appreciated for his generosity and willingness to support worthy causes. He has consistently demonstrated commitment to fostering unity, encouraging personal growth, and inspiring those around him through both words and actions.
Family remains central to his life, and he is regarded by many as a devoted husband, father, mentor, and friend whose influence extends far beyond professional accomplishments.
As he celebrated his milestone 50th birthday on Friday June 12, family members, friends, and well-wishers gathered to honour not only his achievements but also the values he represents: faith, resilience, compassion, and a life dedicated to making a positive difference. The celebrations included a grand birthday event and an intimate post-birthday appreciation gathering at his private residence in Sugar Land, Houston, Texas, United States. The gatherings reflected the deep affection and respect he enjoys among those whose lives he has touched.
