  • Mr Sujimoto’s story is nothing but inspiring to young Nigerians hoping to make a success of themselves in whatever field

Sijibomi Ogundele’s rise to fame and prominence is nothing but an inspiring story of how a man born without a silver spoon can make it in Nigeria. Ogundele or Mr. Sujimoto, as he is fondly called, is the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Sujimoto Construction, a luxury construction giant that focuses on building extraordinary edifices in upscale neighbourhoods.

Born on April 8, 1981, to a working father, Samson Idowu Ogundele and a businesswoman mother, Sijibomi grew up on the streets of Agege. Growing up in an impoverished neighbourhood in Oko-Oba, where only 2 residents had a generator set, Sijibomi made a vow never to remain poor, but become a success story.
