To read the biography of Olatunde Abudu, one of Nigeria’s most successful industrialists, “is to learn in a fresh manner the constraints imposed by the European colonialism and post-colonial regimes on education, economy and industrialisation; the challenges of a deliberate choice of life in the private rather than public sector…..By specialists and general readers alike the book should hold an abiding fascination as a simplification and humanization of several historic strands rolled into one—the Egba and the Yoruba; Ogun State in Nigeria; British colonialism; the legal profession in Nigeria; Nigerian philanthropy”—Anthony Asiwaju, PhD, Professor of History.
