Femi Otedola’s newly released book, Making It Big: Lessons from a Life in Business, has quickly risen to Amazon’s bestseller charts, securing a spot less than a day after its official launch.
The highly anticipated book was unveiled on August 18 and debuted at number four on Amazon’s Best Sellers in Business Biographies & Memoirs category. It ranks just behind Gary Stevenson’s The Trading Game, Simon Squibb’s What’s Your Dream?, and Phil Knight’s classic memoir, Shoe Dog.
The work details Otedola’s journey through the world of business, highlighting the risks he embraced, the challenges he endured, and the lessons that shaped his rise to success.
Speaking about the project, Otedola, chairman of Geregu Power, described it as a reflection on the “lessons, setbacks, and triumphs” that defined his entrepreneurial story.
The publication has already drawn commendations from prominent figures including Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, director-general of the World Trade Organisation, Akinwumi Adesina, president of the African Development Bank Group, Aliko Dangote, president of Dangote Group, Samuel Adedoyin, founder and chairman of the Doyin Group of Companies, and Arunma Oteh, former vice president and treasurer of the World Bank.
Copies of Making It Big are now available in bookstores across major African cities such as Lagos, Abuja, Accra, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Kampala, as well as in London.
