If fortune were a man, he would have been termed a phony one.
Having frowned at Abdulsamad Rabiu, founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), of Bua Group for a while, it has returned to embrace him, even smiling at him.
Those years when it frowned at Rabiu, the man suffered unpalatable business experiences.
At a point, it was his faceoff with Aliko Dangote over who owned the heart of the cement industry in Nigeria that saw his personality being questioned.
Then, the unfortunate happed, as he sold off his flour milling and pasta making company to Olam International of Singapore.
Since then, the man has bounced back building a state of the art office on the corner of Churchgate Street, Victoria Island, Lagos State, also ranking among Africa’s richest men.
Rising from being the 16th richest person in Africa and third in Nigeria last year, he has risen to a more enviable height this year, with his company being recently listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).
