Olusola Amusan

I am Olusola Amusan, a Nigerian Serial Entrepreneur (Author, Corporate trainer, farmer, on-air personality, business coach and preacher) acknowledged as Africa’s Youngest Growth Consultant. I can trace that as far back as when I was 13 years old and I volunteered for an NGO (Life Vanguards) in high school. But before then, I had joined Society for Women and Aids in Africa, Nigeria (SWAAN) at age 9!

Though I did not know so much about social entrepreneurship at that time, I had to learn about contributing to society and helping others grow. The passion became stronger when I was asked to write an article on “Youth Insecurity in Africa: the way forward”. This led me to start my own organisation, YOUTHs Be Secured Foundation, Africa (YSFA) in 2005. It later evolved to SecureAfrica Initiative which is now the Olusola Amusan Company (OAC), with the central message of building SECURE people and business brands in Africa! Today, we have a training and growth consulting arm, a media arm with books/audio CDs and an Agro arm where we farm on about 25 Hectares of land, involving arables like maize and vegetables, and we are expanding. We now have offices in Akure and Lagos, Nigeria. _{https://under35ceo.co/2012/09/13/how-22-year-old-olusola-amusan-went-from-selling-toads-to-becoming-africas-youngest-growth-consultant/}

I grew up in Modakeke, a community in Osun State. I am the first of four boys, born to a teacher father and a health records officer mother at the time. We lived in a small home, and had a precious stereo that got me hooked to the early morning news, radio dramas and several efforts by the Society for Family Health and the international community to fight HIV/AIDS. When I was seven, the Ife/ Modakeke crisis broke out again and this got my dad involved in peace- keeping work with UNICEF, and other agencies.

At the age of nine, I started volunteer work for the Society for Women and Aids in Africa and that was how it all began. Then I started attending community development workshops and volunteered at a youth development centre at the age of 11 through 13 years.

My path in life is laced with service and commitment to humanity’s advancement. Luckily, I work with an organisation that has that as its core. I presided over the 8th and 9th session of the African Youth and Governance Conference, an assembly of delegates from over 40 African countries- the network of forward thinking change agents, entrepreneurs and innovators.

After I joined Microsoft, I was nominated to sit on the country support mechanism in Nigeria, set up in partnership with the foreign affairs ministry. This work gives experience and a unique insight into what the real problems are in Nigeria and helps us to see and provide the needed support for Nigerians. _{http://punchng.com/im-a-self-development-junkie-olusola-amusan/}

Femi Obagun - MD, Onward Stationery Stores Limited/Onward Paper Mill Limited

---

---

ONWARD STATIONERY STORES LTD
Is a limited liability company formed in 1953 by Chief M. Obagun. He started trading paper just after leaving school, at first buying locally before he began wholesale imports. Whenever he is in the mood and feels like recanting the story, one will know that the first type of paper he imported was NCR from a Norwegian company and this little transaction is what really started the journey of OSS.

In time he was able to build a team around him that shared his ideas of integrity, his vision and commitment to excellence. With people like Mr. Emmanuel Ogunsanya, his erstwhile managing diector, who worked with the company for 40 years.

OSS expanded into importation of many other paper products over the years and built a solid reputation for supplying quality paper products. In fact, the name Onward came to be closely associated with quality.

In time the OSS vision to become a topmost supplier of quality paper products expanded into manufacturing paper products. In 1973, Onward Paper Mill was birthed to manufacture stationery products like notebooks and envelopes amongst others. In 1989, Epesok paper mill was created to manufacture jumbo rolls and tissue products

Our strategic location at the heart of the biggest paper market in Lagos and possibly Nigeria ensures our customers are never too far from getting access to our papers and our warehouse in the same axis is big enough to accommodate paper stocks to satisfy our customers.

OUR VISION AND MISSION
It is not only to be seen as a value creating reliable paper supplier. We aim to build relationships with our customers sustained by understanding and responding to their needs whilst aiming for mutually benefical position always.

We also believe that a company is only as strong as its people, thus the proper welfare of our staff is also part mission and part strategic objective.

Currently, with the new team led by Femi Obagun, we are determined to not only preserve the legacy left to us, but also expand it by increasing and enforcing our market share and adhering to the old values of integrity, reliability and mutually benefical cooperation.

Chief M.O Obagun established Onward Stationery Stores in 1953, as a retail outlet for paper, stationery supplies and writing accessories. With time, the business expanded. He started trading paper just after leaving school, at first buying locally, before he began wholesale imports, from a Norwegian company abroad.



Several years later, he decided to set up a plant producing large paper rolls, and newsprint for the print media. That plant was incorporated in 1972, and became known as Onward Paper Mill Limited (OPM). It was the very first indigenous paper converter to manufacture and market top quality stationery in Nigeria.

From pioneering paper conversion and manufacture of top quality paper products, OPM has become a leading name in the Paper/print product manufacturing sector of the nation. It is currently Nigeria's largest paper mill.



The firm's manufacturing capabilities are complimented by an ability to provide contract based consultancy services in print/paper inventory and logistics. They also manage their clients' print requirements including requisite analysis, annual projections, customization and brand enhancement, production, warehousing and even delivery to different locations, as indicated. They have in-house consultants who ensure that clients have a well-balanced, consistent print and paper product inventory process.





OPM’s uncompromising standards are based on quality, competitive pocket friendly prices and timely delivery, all in one neat customer-friendly package. Today, Chief M.O Obagun's son Kunle Obagun, sits at the helm of affairs at the OPM factory in Oregun in Lagos, as the Executive Vice-Chairman, to preserve the legacy of good business that his father started, and take it to greater heights. _{http://onwardstationery.com/about_us.php}

Great! Onward Paper Mills & Stationery Stores had earlier been profiled on page 206, too. They are the largest paper mill factory, in Nigeria. Has Kunle Obagun, now handed over the company to his brother, Femi Obagun?

My bad. Didn't know the company's already been profiled.

This dustbin mustn't die o. Where are my jewish alobams bikonu? Have they all gone to lick urine at the feet of their albino god?

I passed through Oyo town today and saw F.U Eze & sons dealing in used tires. Will fk081 or any other powder hawker be gracious enough to profile him? Or u wish me to do it to help keep this dustbin alive?

Viergeachar:


You guys should let that dustbin of a thread rest in peace na!

Dollyak:
Nothing makes me more angry on nl than this thread and I can only hope this overrated self serving thread dies a violent death (sia hyperbole )by getting deleted. It has serve its purpose and is worn out. You could argue over the 'superiority' of Yoruba as an ethnic group over other Nigerians, but how does Yorubas compares to other Africans let alone other ethnic groups from other non African countries.

Did y'all see the latest report about the educational standard in South West? What about GINI, HDI, growth forecast? These are what matters and not a celebration of a select few.
Anyways, Ignorance is a form of slavery. Wisdom begins with an awareness of ignorance. And although it is a fact that education is costly, ignorance is the only thing that is even costlier than education. The sooner Yoruba leaders realise this the better.

More than 80% UK A- level students achieved a minimum c+ in all subjects. How does that compares to the average Yoruba students (The future of Yoruba race)?

Perspective is needed ladies and gents.

Rants over.

OkutaNla:


Your confusion is understandable yet grossly misguided miss, considering that you're of Yoruba+Igbo parentage therefore I can see why you'll be feeling conflicted about which side to identify with. But you are dead wrong. Your Igbo brothers actually triggered the creation of this thread, when in their usual chest-beating fashion created a thread running down Yorubas, claiming to 'dominate' everything in Yorubaland, blah blah blah. This thread is for record-setting purposes and it's going nowhere.
