An Accounting graduate of the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University, Oyin Adeyemi is an entrepreneur and the Chief Executive Officer of her Construction Company, Still Earth Group.

So how did an accounting graduate overcome the journey to becoming Nigeria’s female Julius Berger? The former Banker and fashion retail entrepreneur  left her unfulfilling career in the banking sector to start Still Earth Nigeria. Her ascent to the exclusive ranks of the male-dominated Construction and engineering sector was a result of her dilligence, persistence and an indomitable fighting spirit.
