Welcome to somayina's blog
Ms Ibukun Awosika wanted to become a medical
doctor when she was in secondary school, later on,
Architect but eventually ended up graduating with
her first degree in Chemistry from the University of
Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife).
She also took many free electives in accounting as
she had keen interest in banking. Since a bank job
didn’t materialize, She took a sales job at a
furniture company. Three and a half months later,
she resigned her position to set up her own
furniture manufacturing company, Quebees Ltd,
from which The Chair Centre Ltd later evolved. She
started in January 1989 with 2 carpenters, 2
sprayers and 2 upholsterers from the back of her
father’s house. Today she has grown her business
to a net worth of more than three billion naira ($
18.6 million).
You don’t have to be an engineer to start an
engineering company. You don’t have to be a
medical lab scientist to start a medical lab and
diagnostic centre. You don’t have to be a doctor to
own a hospital. That is the point Ms Ibukun has
made by establishing a furniture business. Don’t
wait for your dream job, Start your dream company!
I hope you liked the post
