Chief Rasak Okoya is the chairman of Eleganza Group,a thriving conglomerate with its headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria. The billionaire businessman who recently turned 77 years told PUNCH his success story. When asked how he successfully built his conglomerate, Okoya said, “It is from the discipline and hard work with no time to play. When I returned from school, I was always with my father in his tailoring shop to assist him in my little way. Thereafter I started sewing torn clothes at little cost for neighbours.
“As I was able to save up money, I started the business of buying and selling clothing and sewing materials at the front of my father’s shop. I was able to save up some money and I also borrowed from my mother to start importation of tailoring materials. It is true that I had only primary education and immediately after, I went into trading. I don’t feel any regret that I had only primary education. If I had acquired the highest educational qualification, it is still money and wealth that are the bottom line. As stated earlier, my love for trading made me to drop at primary level.”
