Idowu Lamidi Bags Another Honour

Great things come to those who wait. Greater things come to those who work while waiting. There is no debating it: Idowu Lamidi, the MD/CEO of Dollar Group is getting bits and pieces of greater things to come.

According to a recent report, Lamidi has received an honorary degree, a Doctor of Science in Building and Construction Project Management, from the European American University. This happened only a few days ago in Lagos, but has cemented Lamidi’s status as a star on the rise, one likely to glow far brighter than those that came before.

Based on the notes from the university, the honorary degree is not a flattering gesture but something that Lamidi has earned after all his work with serial building constructions. This has raised the bar in the Nigerian construction industry and promoted the spirit of entrepreneurship in the sector. Moreover, Lamidi’s Dollar Construction company appears to recognise no barriers or limitations as it takes on projects that have been marked off as impossible.

The spiciest fact about Lamidi’s new title is how it is coming only a handful of days after City People Magazine recognised his company as the Fastest Growing Construction Company in Nigeria. A man like this, at a time like this, is either divinely fortunate or extremely smart. Or both, as it appears to be the case for Idowu Lamidi. Then again, considering how both Ibadan city and Abuja are dotted with a variety of lovely homes and estates, it is evident that Lamidi is deserving of every recognition and award.

Of course, for those in Ibadan and the rest of Oyo State, Lamidi is one of their own, the reason for the siting of the Dollar Estate in Ibadan, the Alafara project in Oyo and other projects in Epe. Nevertheless, now that even outsiders are privy to the truth of Lamidi’s genius, it is only a matter of time before contracts begin pouring in from outside Nigeria.
At such a young age, Idowu Lamidi has already accomplished much in construction and business. For a man like this, the sky is only a limit to be surpassed. And he will do just that in time.
