I always knew I‘d never work with my certificate

the CEO of Laviva hair extension Ms. Bola Awosika, the CEO of Laviva hair extension and B-Event Total Solution, an event and marketing company. Indeed, she is an interviewers delight. From afar, you’ll have this impression she’s a snobbish and arrogant lady but reverse is the case.

That early morning at her VI residence, she was giving instructions to her staff on how best to pack the goods (hairpieces) she just brought into the country. Also, you’ll notice she’s down earth but firm during the interaction with her. Speaking with Sunday Sun recently, she opened up about her business lifestyle and other issues.

What did you study in school? I graduated from University of Lagos with a BSc Honours degree in industrial chemistry. I have never worked with my certificate because from when I was in the university I had always been an entrepreneur. I had my first shop in year one. So I’ve also done my own thing. Apart from industrial attachment, which I did at Nigeria Textile Mills while in the university, and youth service with the Ministry of Health, where I was attached to the protocol department of the minister, I have never held paid employment.
