Bookshops where you can get Femi Otedola’s Making It Big

Nigerian billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola, will officially release his long-awaited memoir, Making It Big, to the public on 18 August 2025.

The book will be available in selected bookshops across Nigeria, other African countries, and the United Kingdom.

In the memoir, Mr Otedola chronicles his journey from his modest childhood in Lagos to becoming one of Africa’s most prominent entrepreneurs.

The business mogul—renowned for leading companies such as Forte Oil, Geregu Power Plc and First HoldCo Plc —offers insights on building wealth, navigating crises, and living a purposeful life.

Making It Big blends personal anecdotes with lessons on leadership, risk-taking, and resilience.

Making It Big is a masterclass in attaining and maintaining a positive mindset and a reminder that it is possible to defy the odds, no matter how stacked they are against you. Packed with personal philosophies and business lessons, this is a book of hope, backed up by solutions, written to inspire entrepreneurs in Africa and from everywhere.
