‘Making It Big: Lessons from a Life in Business’, the book written by Nigerian business mogul, Femi Otedola, has made its way to the No. 1 spot on Amazon’s bestseller chart — less than a month after its release.

Released on August 18, the is not leading the charts with a five-star rating despite initially debuting at No. 4 on the ‘Best Sellers in Business Biographies & Memoirs’ category. At the time, it sat closely behind Gary Stevenson’s ‘The Trading Game’, Simon Squibb’s ‘What’s Your Dream?’, and Phil Knight’s classic ‘Shoe Dog’ — a day after its release.

The book, which generated mixed reactions after its release, highlighted his rise in business, challenges faced, risks he took, and the insights that defined his path to success.

Otedola, one of Africa’s most successful businessmen and chairman of Geregu Power, had described the book as a reflection on the “lessons, setbacks, and triumphs” that shaped his entrepreneurial path.

The work has received rave reviews from Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, director general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO); 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 treasury.

Copies are available in bookstores across African cities, including Abuja, Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Kampala, and in London.
