Otedola, who is known for his expansive investments in energy, power generation, and banking, disclosed that he has dedicated his quiet mornings in Geneva, Switzerland, to putting together the fresh manuscript before stepping out for recreational activities.
To accompany his announcement, the executive released a video of himself leisurely cycling through the scenic streets of Geneva during a sunny afternoon, dressed casually in sporty joggers and comfortable sneakers.
The relaxed outing served as a creative break after spending several hours writing the next chapters of his anticipated publication.
While Otedola has chosen to remain tight-lipped regarding the exact release date or the comprehensive contents of the new book, market commentators expect it to delve deeper into his evolving corporate philosophies, major asset acquisitions, and his global philanthropic philosophy.
The upcoming publication serves as a logical progression from his premier literary offering, Making It Big: Lessons from a Life in Business, which made its official market debut in 2025.
The initial book provided readers with unprecedented, behind-the-scenes access to Otedola’s high-stakes commercial ventures, detailing his strategic rise in the petroleum industry with Zenon Petroleum and Forte Oil, his dramatic experiences in the national shipping sector, and his massive pivot toward electricity generation with Geregu Power PLC.
The memoir also explored his personal philosophies on resilience, business ethics, and the strategic importance of mentorship for the next generation of African entrepreneurs.
Otedola’s literary efforts have consistently emphasized the need for homegrown investment in critical structural sectors, a message he routinely champions alongside fellow captains of industry.
His close friend and business ally, Aliko Dangote, has frequently praised Otedola’s transparent storytelling approach, pointing to his memoirs as essential handbooks for young professionals navigating the complexities of the emerging sub-Saharan market.
As writing progress continues on Making It Bigger, readers and financial analysts alike are eager to see if the sequel will tackle his recent high-volume equity acquisitions in First Bank of Nigeria Holdings (FBNH) and his expanded domestic utility portfolios.
