Femi Otedola, one of Nigeria’s most prominent billionaire entrepreneurs, has launched the official pre-order campaign for his upcoming memoir, Making It Big. The campaign is anchored on a newly launched website, www.makingitbigbook.com, which went live as part of a broader digital rollout strategy leading to the book’s August 18, 2025, release.
The website serves as the exclusive platform for fans and business enthusiasts to reserve their copies. Visitors can pre-order the book, explore sneak previews, and subscribe for updates. As of now, no alternative sales channels or retail partnerships have been announced, positioning the site as the sole access point to the memoir.
In a statement posted via his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Otedola described Making It Big as a “deeply personal account” chronicling his life and career.
He highlighted that the book captures “the lessons, setbacks, and triumphs” that shaped his rise in Nigeria’s energy and financial sectors.
“The key principles – the moments of doubt, the breakthroughs, and the wisdom that guided me through it all – are almost ready for you,” he wrote.
He added that he hopes to spark dialogue with entrepreneurs and visionaries globally through the memoir.
Although the full content remains under wraps, early signals suggest Making It Big will blend autobiography with business strategy.
The book is expected to provide insight into the high-stakes decisions behind Otedola’s storied career in oil, energy, banking, and philanthropy.
With the pre-order window closing on August 18, the sense of urgency is heightened for readers seeking first access.
As anticipation builds, the memoir is already generating buzz across Nigeria’s business and media landscape, positioning it as a must-read for anyone interested in entrepreneurship, and leadership.
