The ongoing revitalisation of O’dua Investment Company Limited through strategic leadership, aggressive investment in high-impact sectors, and an unyielding commitment to excellence would ultimately steer the member-states back toward economic dominance, writes Festus Akanbi


The story of O’dua Investment Company Limited is that of a glorious business empire which at the peak of its performance, made the old South-west region, an envy of other regions of the country.

However, frequent changes in board and management which in some cases were brought about by corresponding political change in the South-west, nearly brought the conglomerate to its knees until recently.

Indeed, O’dua Investment Company Limited once stood on the brink of collapse, plagued by years of mismanagement, political interference, dwindling revenue, and a lack of strategic direction. Once a thriving symbol of regional economic strength, the conglomerate faced a crippling decline as corruption, bureaucratic inefficiencies and leadership instability eroded its foundation. Its vast portfolio, spanning real estate, agriculture, and industry, suffered from neglect, outdated business models, and poor investment decisions, leading to massive financial losses.
