Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Director General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and former two times Finance Minister of Nigeria has endorsed the new business book and memoir of African billionaire and investor Femi Otedola.
“When Femi Otedola, one of Nigeria’s and Africa’s most successful entrepreneurs, decides to capture his experiences in the form of this book, it is important! As the author himself notes, there are very few books by successful African business leaders documenting their journey and sharing lessons learned for posterity, but in particular for a younger generation,” Okonjo-Iweala said.
Nigerian Billionaire and activist investor Femi Otedola has clarified that his upcoming book titled ‘Making it Big’ is now available for preorder only on makingitbigbook.com.
“The only place to pre-order a copy of my new book is on the official website – makingitbigbook.com. Other sites claiming to have the book in stock are fraudulent, and any orders placed will not be fulfilled,” Otedola said on X.
The book is set to be launched by August 18th, 2025.
The book will reveal the lessons, setbacks and triumphs that shaped the path of the serial entrepreneur.
“In these pages I have shared the real stories – the moments of doubt, the breakthroughs, and the principles that guided me through it all,” Otedola said.
“I look forward to opening this conversation with entrepreneurs and visionaries across the world, and to seeing how these experiences might inspire your own journey going forward.”
Femi Otedola, the iconic Nigerian businessman has graced the front cover of Forbes Africa, and is a philanthropist, and former chairman of Forte Oil PLC. He hails from one of Nigeria’s prominent families, and is the son of the late Sir Michael Otedola, former governor of Lagos State, and Lady Doja.
His vision transformed Forte Oil PLC into one of the highest performing companies on the Nigerian Stock Exchange, which grew exponentially to become a model of possibilities inherent in Nigeria, winning accolades, and crucially becoming the investment of choice within the Oil and Gas Industry, including the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
A business magnate, he founded Zenon Petroleum and Gas Ltd, and is the owner of several other businesses across shipping, real estate and finance.
Otedola is the largest shareholder and Chairman of FirstHoldCo Plc that owns one of Afrca’s biggest banks First Bank as well as Chairman of power generating firm Geregu Power.
