Tobi Lawal: Matchless Exploits at Lagos Building Investment

Isaac Newton, the man credited with so many scientific exploits once explained that the reason he was able to accomplish so much was that he stood on the shoulders of giants. In more ways than one, Tobi Lawal is proving himself to be one such giant for others in the Nigerian economy to follow. Although the narrative of Lawal is much more skewed to the area of controversy and suspicion, it is a fact that the man has done and continues to do much for the company over which he is MD, Lagos Building Investment.

It was not long ago that Lawal was dragged online and offline for the issue of collapsing buildings in Lagos State. From that time on, some of the people that are new to the life of popular and established MDs of Lagos came to know about him. However, considering his track record and the many miles of personal accomplishments behind Lawal, many of these people found him admirable and worthy of attention.

With Lawal, one sees a man that is doing nothing short of the best in the dispensation of duty. Lagos Building Investment, since Lawal took over in 2019, has had its work cut out for it. This is the first area of Lawal’s good work—getting the staff of the agency to recognise the operative scale and importance of their work.

Lawal has been able to achieve just this. Furthermore, he has gotten Lagos Building Investment out of obscurity and into the light by sharpening its strategic approach to projects. Today, the company has far more visibility concerning its operations than it did before Lawal took over.

Altogether, Lawal is using everything he knows and has from attending prestigious institutions such as Harvard Business School and being a considerate person. It is no wonder that he has been able to take the company further than onlookers could have imagined a handful of years ago.
