YEMI IDOWU LANDS SWEET DEAL WITH LAGOS GOVT
His visions and exertions are laced with sparkles thus emitting a blaze that captivates like colourful neon lights. In Lagos State, Yemi Idowu is definitely the man to beat. Yemi has attained the status of a social and political doll that every politician and public officer seeks to do business with. Interestingly,
millions saw the apple fall but it was only Newton who asked ‘ why?’ The late scientist, while blessed with incredible genius also betrayed an amazing gift of observation. Late Newton observed the little details that often counted but are habitually discounted in the flurry of things; this led him to the achievement of great exploits and enviable rewards. Yemi Idowu is no Newton but he displays the late genius’ shrewdness and wonderful gift of scrutiny. So adept is he at his vocation that he constantly discovers rare business opportunities often invisible to his peers. Simply put, Yemi has a reputation for good judgment, fair dealing, exactness, and rectitude - which jointly constitute the essence of his good fortune. Just recently, he landed a hot deal with the Lagos State government to supply all the buses Governor Akinwunmi Ambode intends to use as replacement of the rickety ‘ danfos,’ Volkswagen ( Paragon) and other commercial bus models in the state. It’s a big and very sweet deal that has attracted untold encomiums to the quiet and easy going dude. Despite his unassuming nature, Yemi is a closet billionaire who shies from unnecessary attention. He owns that humongous, first class estate not too far from Chevron Estate known as the “Northern Foreshore” estate amongst many other estates. Findings revealed that besides his ‘ Northern Foreshore’ estate which boasts of over 500 homes of various ranges from 4- bedroom maisonette to bungalows, all totally upscale, Yemi also owns another estate known as the “Friend’s Colony.” There are also the Mayfair Gardens, Cadogan Estate and Bourdillon Court allegedly owned by him. He is a heir of the renowned Ibadan industrialist and sports philanthropist, Late Chief Nathaniel O. Idowu, the Okanlomo & Mayeloye of Ibadan, Oyo State.
