Too many magnates define industry and success in terms of the vainglorious: imposing offices, expensive cars, posh homes and intimidating bank balances but to Dr. Dapo Abiodun, the Chairman of Corporate Affairs Commission, these comprise the fleeting glitter of wealth and acclaim. He defines success in terms of human and capital wealth deployed for the advancement of state and the collective good. Abiodun, among other things, projects a benevolent culture of industry and humanity.
Yes, for the umpteenth time, Prince Abiodun, the Chairman of Heyden Group, has commanded the applause of significant institute. Like an indefatigable knight and conqueror of life’s greatest odds, the foremost entrepreneur has recorded yet another remarkable feat on the conferment of the Doctorate of Finance, (Honoris Causa), today, at the 23rd Convocation Ceremonies of the Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti.
The honour was bestowed on him in homage to his humanity and relentless strides at rewriting the African business narrative.
Like a lightning shaft from Eden, Dr. Abiodun dazzled a large audience and commanded applause at the ceremony with his gift of gumption and unparalleled intellect in an electrifying speech.
Dapo is a rare man. While vainglorious peer jostle for acclaim and honour of shady casts, the Hyden chairman is honoured by nation and leagues of men. This is understandable: Abiodun hails from the topmost crust of extraordinary men.
Notwithstanding his depth as an entrepreneur, philanthropy and citizenship of humanity, Dapo covets no vanities, he simply wears his entrepreneurial strength and savvy like a badge of honour, on his chest; burnishing it with sweat, as true virtuous men do. He stands tall, wading through odds with the courage of a knight and confidence of a champion.
