To say Prince Samuel Adedoyin, chairman of Doyin Investments Nigeria Limited, a conglomerate and foremost indigenous group of companies is an accomplished businessman, industrialist, entrepreneur among other earned attributions would be an understatement, unknown to many, Dr Adedoyin who has become a household name today started out as a palm wine tapper.
The octogenarian in this interview shared his humble beginning with YEMISI AOFOLAJU and how he became an industrialist par excellence. Excerpts:
How would you describe your growing up years?
This question has been asked over and over again, I have narrated it several times as well, it’s not new as far as I’m concerned. I’m told I was born in Lagos State but raised in Kwara State because at that time, my father relocated there as I was told. But there was a dispute between my parents. In fact, I was so close to my mother, though I felt very bad about that development. I later decided to take my destiny in my hands because at that time, my father did not even want to see me.
